Sparkle Bright this 4th of July!
Americans from sea to shining sea prepare for Independence Day in many different ways. Every year you can see Americans enjoying patriotic themed clothing, firework displays both big and small, barbecues, picnics, swimming, parties, parades, and spending time with friends and families. However, July 4th isn’t just a chance to enjoy a hot summer day with barbecue, fireworks, and loved ones. It is an important day in American history that was crucial in making the United States of America the great place that it is today. (Although barbecue, fireworks, and festivities are always a fun way to celebrate!)
Our Rich History
Every year, Americans celebrate Independence Day as the day that the Declaration of Independence was officially adopted by the Continental Congress. This important event marked our independence and the birth of our country. Though the first draft of the declaration was submitted on July 2nd, it continued to receive edits until the final wording was just right. Finally, it was unanimously approved on July 4th, 1776. Since then, the 4th of July has been celebrated as the birthday of our country. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both of whom were members of the Committee of Five that drafted the original document, died on July 4th, 1826. (That’s exactly 50 years after the first Independence Day!) It is truly a day of American importance and a day to join together and celebrate.The first anniversary of Independence Day was celebrated with bonfires, fireworks, and the ringing of bells. Though we’ve grown from 13 colonies to 50 states, we celebrate in similar ways! This tradition caught on and even today, we celebrate the 4th of July with our friends and families. We attend patriotic parades and firework displays, and we enjoy music, food, and other festivities. The 4th of July is a day to celebrate being an American and show gratitude for all the brave men and women who made everything possible.
