Did they drop it and glue it or why does it have that fracture line?

Yes. They tried to move it in 1774 and broke it. Also the meme is total bullshit, it's been moved a lot.

In 1774, the rock broke in half during an attempt to haul it to Town Square in Plymouth. One portion remained in Town Square and was moved to Pilgrim Hall Museum in 1834. It was rejoined with the other portion of the rock, which was still at its original site on the shore of Plymouth Harbor, in 1880. The date 1620 was inscribed at that time. The rock is now ensconced beneath a granite canopy. However, Plymouth Rock has been moved multiple times since 1620

I'm like 99% sure that it isn't actually even the real Plymouth rock and that some dumbass in 1880 was like "yep this broken rock right here?? Plymouth rock" and decided to chisel 1620 into it.

how do I know this? gut feeling of an american and the fact that all of our national history is basically apocryphal, something something spongebob
