No, slavery was not abolished until the ratification of the thirteenth ammendment to the constitution, which was actually a year or so after the Civil war, so around 1866. As to whether or not African Americans should celebrate Independence day, it depends on whether you're glad there is a United States of America or not. If there wasn't, then you'd be an inhabitant of the largest province of the British Empire, and chances are blacks might never have been freed, especially considering the fact that it was American ingenuity that came up with most of the technologies that rendered slavery obsolete. But, I mean, if you would rather be the slave of some British plantation owner, go ahead and boycott the date of the creation of the nation that freed your race. Note To All: The Emancipation Proclamation only freed slaves in Confederate occupied territories--Union slave states were immune.

Benjamin Franklin offered to return the favor by shipping over all of the rattlesnakes in America Many years before 1765 the colonies had begun to take on a pattern of unity that was "characteristically American".

I'm not going to tell you, but I'll tell you where to find the reasons: Read the Declaration of Independence. That's one reason they wrote it - to state the reasons that they believed indpendence from Great Britain to be necessary. It's not a long document, but it's important that you read it, in my opinion.
