Initially it was cannon fire from American ships and army artillery as well as musket fire. Fire works became available later and are a relatively safe form of celebration. The fire works tradition was reinforced when the national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 while aboard a British ship that was taking part in the bombardment of Ft. McHenry. Two links below for further research for you as well as the complete lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner. ;)

Fireworks began with the Chinese as a way of celebration. I'm sure it's a combination of that and "... the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air...".
