On January 14, 1784, the Continental Congress ratified the
Treaty of Paris, ending the War for Independence.

In the document, which was known as the Second Treaty
of Paris because the Treaty of Paris was also the name of
the agreement that had ended the Seven Years’ War in 1763,
Britain officially agreed to recognize the independence of its
13 former colonies as the new United States of America.

and their respective seals.

On January 14, 1973, the Miami Dolphins achieve something
no NFL team has repeated: a perfect season. Despite a gaffe
by kicker Garo Yepremian that has earned its own place in
history, the Dolphins held on to beat Washington, 14-7,
in Super Bowl VII, capping a 17-0 season.
