In the United States, Independence Day (commonly known as "the Fourth of July" or simply "the Fourth") is a federal holiday celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Independence Day is commonly associated with parades, barbecues, picnics, baseball games, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the U.S. Fireworks have been associated with the Fourth of July since 1777.

It is the day the majority of the 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence. John Adams said that July 2 was a day that would be remembered forever, but he was a little off--it took two more days before 7 states had ratified it.

its the celebration of our independence from britian--did you know that the fifty men who signed the Declaration actually signed it on June 5 but waited until July 4 to announce it...they wanted to make sure that all fifty men were in complete agreement
now the 4th of July has become so commerical and just another way to make money (with sales and such things like that at stores and car dealerships) that people forget what it really is about....our freedom

It's a holiday commemorating the Independence of the United States. It celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence when the original colonies declared themselves to be independent of Great Britain and the King and were a country in their own right.
