Most Americans know that the 4th of July is a celebration of independence, but do you know the full history behind America’s independence? Here’s a quick recap. On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of declaring independence from Britain. This event is often heralded as the beginning of the American Revolution. For years, patriots had been fighting for their rights and freedom from British rule, and finally they had something to celebrate. Although there were some bumps in the road along the way (the Battle of Bunker Hill anyone?), America eventually won its independence. Today, we commemorate that victory with fireworks displays, cookouts, and other festivities. So happy Independence Day everyone!
