In the United States,we celebrate a national holiday.

The Fourth of July, also known as Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States. It commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

On this day, the Continental Congress declared the 13 American colonies to be free from British rule. This marked the birth of the United States of America. The Declaration of Independence was a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson and other members of a committee including John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and William Livingston.

The Fourth of July has been celebrated as the birth of American independence since 1776, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades, and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues¹. The tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution.

Interestingly, John Adams believed that July 2nd, the day the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, was the correct date on which to celebrate the birth of American independence. He would reportedly turn down invitations to appear at July 4th events in protest¹. Despite this, July 4th remains the day that is celebrated nationwide.

So, the Fourth of July signifies the birth of American independence and the establishment of the United States as a free country. It's a day of patriotic celebration and remembrance across the nation.
