Independence Day

History

Independence Day celebrates July 4, 1776, when the Continental Congress approved the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. Congress had voted for independence two days earlier, on July 2. It is marked with parades, fireworks and family gatherings, and became a holiday for federal workers in 1870.
