Who declared the Fourth of July a national holiday?

Corrected Answer: The first official US holidays were declared by Congress on June 28, 1870. New Years Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day were all declared holidays in the first act. George Washington's Birthday was declared a holiday in 1871.According to Title 5 of the US Code, neither Congress or the President has the authority to declare a holiday that must be enforced by the states - Federal holidays are only applicable to Federal employees and the District of Columbia.Each state chooses which holidays it will recognize.Extra:Massachusetts declared the 4th a celebration in 1781.Boston declared the 4th a city holiday in 1783.North Carolina declared the 4th a holiday in 1783.Incorrect: It was when the founding fathers had signed the constitution (or declaration of independence) and declared freedom from England on July 4, 1776.
