How would you like to wake up tomorrow and realize that it was September 14 already?That's exactly what happened on this day in 1752. Britain and the American Colonies proclaimed that the day following September 2, which normally would be September 3, would be September 14 instead. This would be done to correct the Gregorian calendar.
