Independence Day aka 4th of July

Independence day marks the historic date when the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress. The 13 colonies decided they wanted to be their own country, free from British rule, and they declared their independence on July 4, 1776. People often have barbecues, watch fireworks, and enjoy parades, just like they do on any other holiday. They also fly the American flag and wear red, white, and blue colors!
