Independence Day, also known as the Fourth of July or July Fourth, is one of the major national holidays in the United States. It is observed on the 4th of July each year to commemorate the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. This day marks the establishment of the United States as an independent nation, breaking away from British rule.

The Declaration of Independence proclaims that all individuals are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights to pursue happiness and freedom. This document holds significant historical importance and has become a cherished holiday for the American people.
