Best Answer

Fireworks, especially firecrackers have been around for over 1,000 years, so they were not new to most Europeans and later Americans. The reason for the display for the 4th of July can be attributed to John Adams. In a letter to his wife, Adams stated that the say should be remembered with games, sports, parades, bells, bonfires and illuminations. The first fireworks display was July 4, 1777.
