On this day, we celebrate our Independence Day. On this day, in 1776, the thirteen American colonies declared themselves a new nation, the United States of America. They were no longer part of the British Empire. And over the next 240+ years, this nation has celebrated this day as its birthday.
The holiday is celebrated in many ways, mainly in the form of parades, barbecues, and at night, firework displays. It's a time where family gets together. It's time to play some baseball, the national pastime. It's a time to enjoy a juicy burger or hot dog. It's also a day to celebrate a country that has been called "The Great Experiment".
So, on this day, hang out with your family, have some fun, get some good food, and watch some fireworks. Enjoy the day! Happy Birthday, America!
