About National Independence Day in the United States
Civil Rights , United States
Ends: Jul 04, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
The Fourth of July marks the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence by the colonies of America from England. The American Revolution, fought by 13 colonies against Great Britain, followed the declaration. The war occured between 1776 to 1783, though skirmishes began as early as 1773. At the time, Great Britain was the world's super power, and the United States was a belligerent colony.
The war began July 2, 1776, when the Continental Congress voted for independence. The declaration occurred two days later, on July 4, 1776. Most people do not realize that the Revolutionary War only involved 15% of American citizens on both sides. It does not take a lot of people to change history. It just takes a revolutionary idea and enough people to make it happen.
Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence.
The Fourth of July became an official federal holiday in 1941. Still, it was celebrated long before that, beginning in the 18th century.
The Fourth of July is one of seven national holidays in the United States that most people have off. The others are New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
