A little bit of History
This was the day that the congress proclaimed the United States to be free of Britain in 1776. Initially, in the pre-revolutionary years, these celebrations took place as the king’s birthday celebrations which included the ringing of bells, bonfires, and speeches. In the summer of 1776, the colonists started celebrating their freedom from Great Britain by holding pretend funerals for King George to show the end of the rule of America.
Even after the end of the revolutionary war, the people of America kept on celebrating the 4th of July which created a feeling of solidarity and peace among people. By the 1870s, people considered this day the most important holiday on the calendar and celebrated it in many different ways. For example, throwing barbecue parties, holding parades, and most significantly the fireworks all over town. The folklore of firework display on the 4th of July started when back in 1777, a ship fired 13 guns in order to tribute to the 13 colonies while at the same time the Sons of Liberty set forth fireworks all over Boston common. Since that day, every year this day is celebrated with fireworks all over cities in America.
