The Road to Independence
The origins of Independence Day can be traced back to the late 18th century, when the thirteen colonies of North America were under British rule. Tensions between the colonies and the British government had been growing for years, as the colonists chafed under what they saw as oppressive taxation and restrictions on their freedoms. In 1775, the first shots of the American Revolution were fired, and by 1776, the colonies had declared their independence from Britain. The Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson, was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4th of that year, and the new nation was born.A National Celebration
In the years that followed the Revolution, July 4th became an important date for Americans, a symbol of their hard-won freedom and independence. The country's first Independence Day celebration took place in 1777, with parades, fireworks, and speeches. The tradition continued to grow in the years that followed, with communities across the nation holding their own celebrations. In 1870, Congress passed a bill making July 4th a national holiday, and Independence Day took on a new level of significance.The Modern Celebration
