The United States of America’s Independence Day is celebrated every year on July 4. This day is also known as 4th of July. In 2024, America is celebrating its 248th Independence Day. The history of this day is linked to 1776 when 13 American colonies declared their independence from Britain.

On July 2, 1776, the Second Continental Congress voted in favor of the country’s independence. But on July 4, Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence.

The second President of America, John Adams, who was a prominent leader of the independence movement, wanted July 2 to be celebrated as Independence Day. He wrote in a letter to his wife Abigail.

Various celebrations are held in USA on the 4th of July such as fireworks, parades, concerts, family get-togethers, and barbecues.

“The Star-Spangled Banner”, which is the national anthem of America, is sung by all citizens on this day.

On 4th of July, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, and this day is celebrated as the birth of America’s independence.
