July 4, 1776 is known in history as the day of the American Declaration of Independence from the British Empire, an event that led to the birth of the United States as a sovereign entity. Today, July 4, is the day Americans celebrate their national values.

In 1776, the 13 American colonies declared their independence from the British Empire, an event that led to the birth of the United States as a sovereign entity.


But July 4 is not exactly the day the Continental Congress - made up of colony delegates - decided to declare independence, two days earlier, on July 2, 1776. Nor is the date on which the American Revolution broke out. which had begun a year before, in April, 1775.


Nor is it the date on which Thomas Jefferson - considered one of the "founding fathers" of the United States, who became the third president of the state (1801-1809) - wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, which happened in June 1776. This The Declaration of Independence was signed on August 2, 1776 and sent to the British in November of the same year.


On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress approved the final form of the Declaration of Independence, which was designed for several days.


Thus, this date became official, which was included in the Declaration of Independence, and the copy signed in August 1776, handwritten, can now be seen in the National Archives in Washington.


In the first 15-20 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Americans did not celebrate this date, and until the 1790s, it had become a controversial act. On the one hand, Republican Democrats admired the Declaration of Independence, and Jefferson, on the other, the Federalists considered the act too French and too anti-British.


In 1817, John Adams - the second president of the United States (1797-1801) - complained that America was not very interested in its past.


After the end of the American-British War, which broke out in 1812, the Federalist Party disintegrated and all political formations of the 1820s and 1830s considered themselves heirs of Jefferson and the Democratic Republicans. Printed copies of the Declaration of Independence began circulating again, with the date of July 4 underlined. The deaths of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams on July 4, 1826, helped to promote the idea that July 4 should be celebrated as an important date in American history.


The American Congress declared July 4 a national holiday in 1870, almost a century after the American Revolution. At the same time, it was declared a national holiday and Christmas, among others.


Today, July 4 is marked by the display of the American flag, political speeches, ceremonies, parades, parties, family reunions, picnics, baseball games, fireworks and other events.


On this occasion, on the American tables are most often found "hot dogs" and burgers, baked corn, lemonade, beer, watermelon and apple pie and ice cream.

20-mind-blowing-facts-about-the-fourth-of-july-indepence-day

On July 4, US citizens celebrate Independence Day. With a backyard barbecue and fireworks and salutes. Indeed, it was on this day in 1776 that the Declaration of Independence of this country was proclaimed. At least most Americans are convinced of this. However, in reality, everything was a little different. Bemorepanda has compiled a list of little-known and interesting facts about Independence Day.

 

1. The date of celebration of July 4 is conditional

In fact, the declaration of independence lasted more than a month. The documents show that the independence of the United States was proclaimed on July 2, but most of the delegates put their signatures only on August 2, and some delayed this until the end of August.

 

2. Thomas Jefferson was not the only author of the Declaration of Independence

Thomas Jefferson | Biography, Political Career, & Facts | Britannica

Thomas Jefferson is widely believed to have authored the text of the Declaration. However, he was only one of the co-authors. Other contributors include John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston.

 

3. Some of the signatories to the Declaration were executed as traitors

Of the 56 people who signed the Declaration of Independence, five were captured by British soldiers. They were brought before a military tribunal and were executed as traitors. Nine people died from wounds received during the War of Independence. Many have lost their wives, children and property. Ironically, two authors of the historical document - Thomas Jefferson and John Adams - died on the same day on July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years after the Declaration was signed.

 

4. At the time of proclamation of independence, the US population was only 2.5 million people

fourth-of-july-2021-facts-and-history-to-celebrate-the-independence-day

Independence Day is the day of the signing of the US Declaration of Independence in 1776, which proclaimed the independence of the United States from the Kingdom of Great Britain. This holiday, which Americans simply call “Fourth of July,” is a federal holiday that marks the adoption of the July 4 Declaration by the Continental Congress. He stated that thirteen American colonies consider themselves a new nation, the United States of America and are no longer part of the British Empire. Bemorepanda collected some interesting facts for you, and of course the history of the event.

 

American Independence Day is the national day of the United States.

History of the Fourth of July - Brief History & Early Celebrations - HISTORY

Independence Day in the USA History of the holiday. During the American Revolution, the legal secession of the Thirteen Colonies from Britain in 1776 actually occurred on July 2, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve an Independence Resolution that had been proposed for consideration in June by Richard Henry Lee from Virginia. At that time, the inhabitants of 13 British colonies, which were located along the east coast of today's United States, were at war with the English king and parliament due to the fact that the British Parliament passed the "Currency Act" in 1764. This law prohibited the administration of the American colonies from issuing their own, unsecured and uncontrollably printed money and obliged them to continue to pay all taxes in gold and silver coins. In other words, the law forced the colonies to the gold standard. In 1775 the war broke out.

 

The Committee of Five, led by Thomas Jefferson, prepared the Declaration of Independence. Congress discussed and revised the wording of the Declaration, finally approving it two days later on 4 July. For the first time in an official document, the colonies were called United.

 

From the outset, Americans celebrated the national holiday on July 4, the date specified in a widely publicized Declaration, rather than July 2, when the resolution was approved in closed session of Congress.

 

Historians have long debated whether members of Congress signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, although Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin all later wrote that they signed it that day. Most historians have come to the conclusion that the Declaration was signed almost a month after its adoption on August 2, 1776, and not July 4, as is commonly believed.

History of the holiday Independence Day This day is usually associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts. The holiday is also famous for baseball games, family gatherings, political speeches and ceremonies, as well as various other social events dedicated to the history, government and traditions of the United States.

 

As with other summer events, the celebration often takes place outdoors. July 4th is a federal holiday, so some federal offices (such as the Postal Service and federal courts) close on this day.

 

Families often celebrate it by hosting friends or attending picnics or barbecues. Many take advantage of the weekend to get together with family or friends. Decorations (such as streamers, balloons, and clothing) are usually painted in the red, white, and blue of the American flag. Parades are often held in the morning, before family gatherings, while fireworks are held in the evening after dark in parks and city squares.

 

America's Independence Day Fireworks are often accompanied by patriotic songs such as the national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner," "God Save America," "America the Beautiful," "My Country," "This Land Is Your Land," "The Stars and stripes forever. " The Yankee Doodle is popular in the northeastern states and Dixie in the southern states.

In some states, fireworks are prohibited or limited in size and type for safety reasons. In addition, local weather conditions can dictate whether the sale or use of fireworks is permitted.

 

A one-gun salute for each state in the United States, called the "union salute," fires on Independence Day at noon at any military base.

 

In 2009, New York City had the largest fireworks display in the country, with over 22 tons of pyrotechnics exploding. Other major fireworks display takes place in Chicago on Lake Michigan, Boston on the Charles River, St. Louis on the Mississippi River, San Francisco over San Francisco Bay, and on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

 

Interesting coincidences on July 4th in America. Coincidentally, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both of the signers and later presidents of the United States, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, when they celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Declaration.

 

Yes! This is your day, America! On July 4, 1776, the United States became an independent state. It's time for Americans to get out and clean old barbecues, stock up on fireworks, hot dogs and beer. We invite everyone else to have fun by reading 10 facts about American Independence Day.

In 1776, the American colonies were declared free and independent from Britain and its king.

 

2. During the first 20 years, Independence Day was not celebrated on July 4

Постеры на тему Дня независимости стали модным трендом

The date was officially declared a holiday only in 1870, almost a hundred years after the Declaration was written and signed. For example, the second president of the United States, John Adams, believed that Independence Day should be celebrated on July 2. He believed that this very date, when Congress voted for the Declaration, should be celebrated as a holiday. In a letter to his wife, Adams wrote that "July 2 should be celebrated with pomp and parade, sports, bonfires, bells and festivals." In the early years after the signing of the Declaration, there was controversy over whether the country should celebrate at all. While Democrats and Republicans were delighted with the Declaration, the Federalists considered the celebration of independence "unpatriotic, anti-British and too French."

 

3. There are more of them

Thomas Jefferson - July 4, 1826

5. Born on July 4

7. Instead of an eagle, a turkey could become a symbol of America

Представьте: индейка символ независимости США...

8. Fireworks

Every year, Americans launch about 200 million kg of fireworks! And most of them are imported from China - for $ 247.1 million. From there, American flags are brought in for $ 5-6 million annually.

Most Americans spend July 4 outdoors, picnicking with family and friends. The favorite dish is obviously the hot dog. America eats about 150 million hot dogs on this day.

 

10. The most drunk holiday

Выпьем?

The fourth of July is unofficially known as the drunkest holiday in the United States. The tradition began in 1778, on the second day of the Independence Day celebrations. Then US President George Washington ordered a double shot of rum to be given to the military to mark the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration. Since then, sales of beer and other alcoholic beverages have grown tenfold during this period. In recent years, Americans have been drinking $ 1 billion worth of beer alone in honor of Independence Day. And that's not counting other alcoholic drinks.
