So this is to tell some information about the fourth of July a holiday we celebrate in America:

Independence Day, also referred to as the Fourth of July or July Fourth, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence 241 years ago on July 4, 1776. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation, the United States of America, and were no longer part of the British Empire.

Also called The Fourth of July

Observed by United States

Significance The day in 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress

Celebrations Fireworks, family reunions, concerts, barbecues, picnics, parades, baseball games

John Adams described the fourth of July in a letter to his wife Abigail: The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.[7]
