The Fourth of July-- also known as Independence Day or July 4th -- has been a federal holiday in the United States. In 1941, the Independence Day celebration tradition went back to the American Revolution in the 18th century. On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later, delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historical document prepared by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present, July 4th has been commemorated as the birth of American independence, with festivities varying from fireworks, parades, and concerts to more casual household gatherings and barbecues.
