Fourth of July

We celebrate it on July 4th! The Fourth of July!!! :)

July 4th has fallen on Sunday in the following years. I only included years after the declaration of independence.

1779, 1784, 1790, 1802, 1813, 1819, 1824, 1830, 1841, 1847, 1852, 1858, 1869, 1875, 1880, 1886, 1897, 1909, 1915, 1920, 1926, 1937, 1943, 1948, 1954, 1965, 1971, 1976, 1982, 1993, 1999, 2004, 2010. The next time will be in 2021.

America did many things to gain its freedom. Its citizens moved countries, to get away from an oppressive ruler, they rioted, and fought against unfair treatment and taxes. They also went to war and won.

The USA gained its Independence on July 4th 1776.

The last time the 4th of July fell on a Saturday was in 1998.

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.

In the United States, the 4th of July is important because it is the day the nation declared its independence from the British Monarchy in 1776.

Actually the first United States Census wasn't taken until 1790; at the time 3,929,326 people lived in the U.S.

However, it is estimated that the 1776 population was about 2.5 million people.

No we are not.

When the Fourth of July falls on a Sunday, Mormons usually spread the celebration over two days. They spend Saturday doing traditional Fourth of July things - having barbeque's, parades, parties, and watching fireworks displays.

As America, independence, and patriotism are very important concepts in the Church, Sunday is spent thanking God for the blessings we receive for being citizens of this country. (This is usually done on the Sunday closest to the 4th each year) Patriotic songs and hymns are sung during worship services, and the service often ends with the congregation rising to sing the National Anthem. The messages in the service are often about being thankful for our nation or honoring veterans and others who have fought for our freedoms and liberties.

Well no one really knows how many birthdays are in July because, people are born everyday.

Independence Day (Filipino: Araw ng Kasarinlan; also Araw ng Kalayaan, lit. "Day of Freedom") is an annual national holiday in the Philippinesobserved on 12 June, commemorating the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain on 12 June 1898. It is the country's National Day.

Officially, Puerto Rico celebrates Independence Day on 4 July, just like all other US states and territories.

Independence Day in the USA is celebrated every year, on 4th July.

Yes Fred Meyer is open on The Fourth of July

America is the only country that celebrates the Fourth of July.

Many other countries celebrate an independence day (in the Bahamas, it is July 10th, I believe) but to my knowledge no other country's independence day coincides with ours.

Independence Day should be celebrated with fervor. We should not forget the sacrifices of those brave persons who helped make Indonesia an independent country.

if the workers work Saturday they get paid if they don't work Saturday then they don't get paid. if its a small buisness the owner might let them go Friday but if its a corp. the owner wont think about it.

According to Wikipedia, Independence Day, is more commonly known as the Fourth of July.

the Mexican independence day is cinco de mayo No, it's not. The Mexican Independence Day is September 16, commemorating the day in 1810 when Mexico's independence from Spain was first proclaimed. Cinco de Mayo (the 5th of May) celebrates the day in 1862 when republican forces, battling the French supported Emperor Maximillian, gained their first significant victory at the battle of Puebla. Although Cinco de Mayo is widely celebrated in the United States as a display of Mexican heritage, it is actually a fairly minor holiday in Mexico itself, largely ignored outside of Puebla.

The adoption of the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776) which declared us apart from England.
