 INTRODUCTION
Just like us, Americans have a day to celebrate their
country's independence. It was in the 18th century that the
American nation ceased to be an English colony,
transforming it into an independent state and breaking ties
with the British Crown.

Since 1870, the date has been a national holiday in the

country, being celebrated annually by Americans.

When was the Independence of the
United States declared?
On July 4, 1776, the declaration written by Thomas
Jefferson, establishing the Independence of the United
States, was published. Unanimously, the thirteen
American colonies voted in favor, contributing to the
emancipation of the country. But it was not easy to win
this victory, after all, this only happened after a war
between American citizens and the English colonizers of
the country. It all started when the British Crown decided
to establish new taxes, which demanded much more from
the population and harmed the economic rise of the
region.

However, it was only in 1783 – almost ten years later –

that North American independence was recognized by
England, after the signing of the Treaty of Paris.

Thomas Jefferson was the
first president to celebrate
Independence Day at the
White House in 1801. The
celebration featured horse
races, parades, food and
drinks – much like the July
4th celebrations we see
today.
Although the date has been
celebrated every year since
1776, it did not become a
federal holiday until 1870.
The Declaration of
Independence, now housed
at the National. Archives in
Washington, is recognized
as an important human
rights message. One
sentence reads: “that all
people are created equal
and have rights that include
life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness”.

Being one of the most popular holidays among

fireworks for those who want to celebrate.
There are also many outdoor events, such as
presentations and concerts in city parks, and
family barbecues. Another striking feature is the
patriotism of the population. In celebration of
the 4th of July, people flaunt the colors of the
United States flag all over the place, extolling
the country's history and achievements.

The way Americans celebrate today has
a lot to do with the first Independence

is on this list:

Fireworks. There are fireworks displays

across the country. A lot of people also buy
their own rockets to do private shows.

Candle with little star spark. Another

classic, the favorite of families with
children.

Barbecue. What's a 4th of July party

without the famous barbecue? Americans
really like to roast sausages and
hamburgers and have a nice picnic in the
backyard.

Parades. It is common for the community

to gather to march in the streets
celebrating. There will be a float and
music, yes. The party is usually followed
by festivals and fairs – with delicacies,
tours and other activities.
