6. History
Independence Day is the national holiday of the United States of
America commemorating the signing of the Declaration of
Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At the time of the signing the US
consisted of 13 colonies under the rule of England's King George III.
There was growing unrest in the colonies concerning the taxes
that had to be paid to England. This was commonly referred to as
"Taxation without Representation" as the colonists did not have any
representation in the English Parliament and had no say in what went
on.
As the unrest grew in the colonies, King George sent extra troops to
help control any rebellion. In 1774 the 13 colonies sent delegates to
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to form the First Continental Congress.
The delegates were unhappy with England, but were not yet ready to
declare war.
7. Meaning
The Fourth of July is a holiday that
most Americans celebrate for
various reasons. The festivity may
involve family, friends or public
gatherings. Popular culture would
have you believe that the gala is a
birthday party for the
country. Flags wave, bands march
and bystanders cheer. The parades
are pageants, visible spectacles for
all to applaud and enjoy.
After the confetti blows away, what
is the meaning of the
day? Commemoration of the
Declaration of Independence should
be the primary reason for the
remembrance. Other than
historically conscious
traditionalists that understand the
nature of the Republic, few perceive
the real purpose of the founding of
America.
