The History of Independence Day
To fully appreciate the significance of Independence Day, let's delve into its historical roots. In the 18th century, the American colonies were subject to British rule, which led to growing discontent among the colonists. This discontent eventually culminated in the drafting and signing of the Declaration of Independence, a pivotal document that declared the colonies' separation from British rule. On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration, marking the birth of a new nation founded on principles of freedom, democracy, and individual rights.
