HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY – AMERICA

4th July , or July 4th is a federal holiday in the United States of America, marking its independence. One may ask, “independence from what?”. Since it was never a colony, there would be no struggle for freedom.

It is on this day in 1776, that George Washington led the war against the British army, and came back victorious, or independent. It is also the day when all the 13 American colonies, declared themselves independent. However, the American war of independence continued for 7 years even after the colonies declared themselves independent.

THE INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

Thomas Jefferson drafted the very first declaration of independence, who was selected on the urging of John Adams.

Some say that the actual Independence Day is 2nd July 1776 and not 4th July 1776. However, it has been taken that 4th July is actually the independence day is celebrated because that was the day the Congress accepted Thomas Jefferson’s declaration.
