The origin of Independence Day in the United States

Independence Day, also known as Independence Day in English, or it can also be written as Fourth of July or July Fourth, is one of the major legal holidays in the United States and the largest national holiday in the United States. Independence Day is a day to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence of the United States, which is celebrated on July 4 every year to commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by representatives of the 13 American colonies at the Continental Congress held in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776.

The Declaration of Independence begins with a clear statement that all men are created equal and have the natural right to pursue happiness and freedom, vividly enumerates the crimes committed by the British colonialists on the American continent, and finally solemnly declares the independence of the United States of America from Great Britain. The Declaration of Independence is a great document of world historical significance.

As a result, the day of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence has also become a holiday that the American people will always remember, that is, American Independence Day. Independence Day is usually celebrated in various forms, such as parades, fireworks, concerts, etc. Americans enjoy traditional Independence Day favorites such as barbecue, fried chicken wings, corn on the cob, hamburgers and more as a family.
