US Independence Day 2022: The celebrations on July 4 or the Fourth of July date back to the 18th century when the Declaration of Independence was adopted.
After two years of surge in Covid cases kept the world on edge, Americans are celebrating fourth of July that marks the independence of American colonies from British rule. The day also commemorates the passage of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress in 1776. To celebrate the day, the US also observes a federal holiday on July 4. While the pandemic is not over yet, there has been a relative improvement in the situation with the increase in vaccine coverage.
The celebrations on July 4 or the Fourth of July date back to the 18th century when the Declaration of Independence was adopted. The celebrations had been marked initially by bell ringing, bonfires, and processions – modeled on King Geroge III’s birthday, according to encyclopedia Britannica. But this changed with time. Many towns began holding mock funerals for the king, signifying the end of monarchy and the rebirth of liberty.
