History of July 4th Independence Day Holiday

When the initial battles in the Revolutionary War broke out in April 1775, few colonists desired complete independence from Great Britain, and those who did were considered radical.

By the middle of the following year, however, many more colonists had come to favor independence, thanks to growing hostility against Britain and the spread of revolutionary sentiments such as those expressed in the bestselling pamphlet “Common Sense,” published by Thomas Paine in early 1776.

On June 7, when the Continental Congress met at the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, the Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee introduced a motion calling for the colonies’ independence.

Amid heated debate, Congress postponed the vote on Lee’s resolution, but appointed a five-man committee—including Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Robert R. Livingston of New York—to draft a formal statement justifying the break with Great Britain.

Fun 4th Of July Activities With Your Family

Go Camping

Use the holiday weekend as an excuse to visit—and stay in—one of America’s National Parks. If you can’t get away, you could even set up a campsite in your very own backyard. Roasting marshmallows and constellation-spotting is just as magical, no matter where you are.

Watch (or Participate in!) a Parade

Many municipalities across the country have plans to reintroduce traditional Fourth of July activities, like parades and fireworks displays this year. Check your town or city’s website for specifics. And if the show is on, set your alarm to make it there early to get prime viewing spots.

Have Your Own Bike Parade

Host your own bike parade for the 4th. Whether you get the neighbors in on it with a little friendly competition between families (see who can come up with the most festive decorations!) or you just decorate and take a family ride through town, it’s a great way to infuse the day with a little spirit.

July 4th Celebration

Today, the Fourth of July holiday is still known for celebrations with family and friends. The holiday’s importance has inspired the creation of everything from the lyrics to “Yankee Doodle Dandy” (“I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy …born on the Fourth of July…”) to movies like “Independence Day.” America’s independence has always been an important aspect of our country, and we will protect it from anyone (or anything) who tries to challenge it.
