As we celebrate American Independence on the Fourth of July every year,wethink ofJuly 4th, 1776 as a day that represents the Declaration of Independence as the birth of the United States of America. This day commemorates the adaptation of independence by delegates from 13 colonies.The Declaration was written in April 1975 and almost after 100 years, Congress declared July 4th to be a National Holiday. This was the most important secular holiday on the calendar.

On July 4th1776, John Hancock,the president of the continental congress at that time signed the declaration in the presence CharlesThompson, the secretary of congress. The official signing event took place on Aug. 2nd 1776 when 50 men signed the document.

As an independent country, it became free from control and influence of other person, country or entity. It became internationally recognized land and borders. It has power to levy war, make alliances with foreign nations, conduct trade and anything else that they think its right to do

Today America means Opportunity, Freedom and power

President Abraham Lincoln said, “Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”
