July 4 the Day Dedicated to American Celeberation


Most people in the US celebrate the 4th of July, but there are some people who don't know exact reason why the holiday is so important to the US people.It is strange but true significant proportion of population of US exactly don't know the reality that is how the colonists fall in the years leading up to 1776.

The Great Britain keept trying to make the colonists follow more regulation for exploitation and the people started making plans to be able to make their own rules for themselves. 

They no longer wanted Great Britain to dictate their term and decide the faith of Americans so they finally decided to tell Great Britain that they were becoming an independent country.

The Congress met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and they appointed a committee to prepare a formal statement that would tell Great Britain that the Americans had decided to govern in their own way.

 The committee asked to Thomas Jefferson to prepare a draft of the document, so he worked for days, in absolute confidentiality, until he had completed a document that he thought said everything important that the committee had discussed in in detail.

On June 28, 1776, the committee met to read Jefferson's "fair" copy they made some changes in the document and declared their independence on July 2, 1776.

They officially adopted it on July 4, 1776. That is why American call it "Independence Day." Congress ordered that all members must sign the Declaration of Independence and they all began signing the "official" copy on August 2, 1776. In January 1977, Congress sent signed copy of the draft to all of the states.


The Declaration of Independence is a symbol of independence and commitment to certain ideas.

Most of the American can look at a certain little "swoosh" and know that it stands for "Nike." Well, the signatories of the Declaration of Independence wanted the citizens of the United States to have a document that pronounced out what was important to their leaders and citizens.
