Are we celebrating the defeat of terrorists or are we remembering why Guy Fawkes and company wanted ro blow up Parliament in the first place? I’m American and, frankly, I’m confused by the whole thing.

Oh I get it. I think that I initially read that wrong. So regarding the holiday, is of more of a rememberance of the historical moment, or like, an actually celebration of a foiled coup? Or something else? I’m sorry for my persistent questions.
Pretty much both.
Though these days it is mostly a night for a bonfire, fireworks and a party as it is about remembering an event from 400+ years ago.
It’s a yearly reminder from our government, this is what you get if you fuck with them.
