Yes. Listen to the National Anthem. War of 1812. The British attacked Fort McHenry using rocket technology obtained from India.

Independence day was signaling the end of the war.
USA won its independence from European powers.
It became a seperate nation. not an extension of European powers such as Canada is.
It was a war with explosive power, gun powder, cannons, and the explosions could be seen for miles. As fireworks.
So to celebrate independence on the 4 th of July they exploded the rest of their gun powder in a fireworks display. Been doing it every since to celebrate our independence from European powers
