The 4th of July, or Independence Day, celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This document, primarily authored by Thomas Jefferson, declared the thirteen American colonies free from British rule. Growing discontent with British policies, such as taxation without representation, led the Continental Congress to convene and address these grievances. On July 2, 1776, the Congress voted for independence, and on July 4, they formally adopted the Declaration, outlining philosophical justifications for independence and listing grievances against King George III. Independence Day symbolizes liberty and the founding principles of the United States. It is marked by patriotic displays, including fireworks, parades, concerts, and family gatherings, celebrating the nation's history and values. #IndependenceDay #4thOfJuly #Freedom #AmericanHistory #Patriotism #Liberty #FoundingFathers #CelebrateFreedom #USA #AmericanIndependence #Commutec
