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.

    rememberance of the historical moment, or like, an actually celebration of a foiled coup?

    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.
