Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States. We celebrate Independence Day because on July 4, 1776, America declared its independence; but the battle for freedom still went on until 1783, which was seven years later. Even though the people declared their freedom in 1776, they had to stand and fight for many years before the British would accept and recognized the United States of America.

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States.
