The fourth of the July, also known as the American Independence Day, is a popular holiday that signifies the birth of the United States of America as an independent nation. It is celebrated across the country to honor the freedom that we are granted within our country. On July 4th, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was written so that the colonies, now known as the United States of America, could declare independence from England and establish a system of government based on God given natural rights.
