Deletion of Independence Day during the American Civil War

Comment: to American Independence Day; clearly, there's good stuff here that should go in that article, but a separate article just doesn't seem necessary. The Easter/Spanish Flu is a bit of a strawman because both the holiday and the Civil War relate directly to the essence of the United States existing as a nation. However, whether something is behind a pay wall is not a reason to delete; see

Comment: if there is anything worth salvaging, we wouldn't know, because we can't |verify it. In the end, the intersection is just not notable enough for an article, and while we might be able to AGF on the paywall, we can't assume notability
