Commemorating the 4th of July!

The colonies of America were battling for their freedom as 1775 rolled around: On April of that year, the Revolutionary war broke out in the country and soon enough people were fighting for their right to be independent from the British Crown. It was on the 2nd of June of next year that Richard Henry Lee put a motion in movement requesting the formal independence of those colonies. The 5 representatives of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Virginia were appointed to resolve the matter and nearly a month later they brought it in front of the Continental Congress as a formal voting, which resulted in an unanimous approval; two days later the “Declaration of Independence” was signed by Adams, Jefferson and Franklin.

Many years passed after that groundbreaking event for the country to be actually freed from the power of the British Crown, but the start of the movement will forever be remembered as the date when our nation became what it is now: A free country. Although it was declared an official federal holiday as late as 1870, the United States of America has been celebrating its independence from 1776, through sport events, gatherings with friends and family and attending parades and bonfires; expressing the overall pride we take on this day background and the sovereignty we enjoy from that time onward. This day represents the freedom of this land, the day when we chose to celebrate our history. Commemorate this important day with your loved ones, remembering that we’re proud to be free!
