They weren't free. They were held in chains and considered property. If I was a slave I wouldn't consider it a holiday either.
It started on July 4th, 1776. That was the first Independence Day for the United States of America. The date July 4th has been around for a much longer time.
July 4, 1776. The date that Congress approved of and adopted the written Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. Many believe that it should be July 2, 1776, because that's when the Declaration of Independence was adopted by a voice vote.
The 13 American colonies split from the British empire with the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration was signed on July 4, 1776.
July 4, 1776
In 1776, between June 11 (when the Declaration committee was appointed) and July 4 (when changes were done and the Declaration was approved).Actually it was July 4th, that's why we have Independence day on that day because the Declaration of Independence was written.
July 4th is Americas Independence Day. It is an annual holiday.

The American Independence Day is the 4th July.
July 4th--Independence Day
No, you American moron.
American people celebrate the 4th of July for declaring their independence from England, on July 4th 1776. Before then, the united States were an overseas British colony.
No. The 4th of July is an American holiday to celebrate their independence. Since Scotland is neither an independent country or apart of America, they have no reason to celebrate the 4th of July.
