American Independence Day – Why is it so important?
July 4th – The American Independence Day is one of the biggest and most celebrated patriotic holidays in the United States. For years, picnics, barbecue, parades, and fireworks are part of the tradition in celebrating the Independence Day. But what exactly is the importance behind it? Why do people spend so much time on preparing for the American Independence Day?
A Historical Overview of American Independence Day
When America started to be inhabited, firstly there were only thirteen British colonies. They arrived and settled but they were still considered a part of the British empire. While things started off well, relations between Britain and the thirteen colonies started to get worse. This was due to the large taxes that the thirteen colonies were paying to Britain. Finally, in 1767-1773, several revolutionary acts have been taking place and the most notable was the Tea Act.
The Thirteen Colonies demanded to be treated equally as all other British residents through these acts. In 1774 a group of colonial delegates gathered up to express their resentment of the British Crown. They didn’t ask for independence just yet, but they did refuse to pay taxes.
Later the Revolutionary War began with George Washington in charge and Thomas Jefferson along with Benjamin Franklin joining the cause. Although the first battle was lost, many were won.
By the end of 1782, the conflict was coming to an end. The product of it was the Declaration of Independence that was brought on July 4th, 1776 to be validated and accepted by the British along with the American Independence. Even though the American Independence was achieved towards the end of the war, July 4th is considered as the day when American Independence was achieved in every Americans heart.
