Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July The first celebration was on the Fourth of July 1777 - the year after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Thirteen gunshots were fired in salute - one for each of the original American colonies. But the "Independence Day" name wasn't used until 1791. In 1870 it was made an unpaid holiday for federal employees, and in 1938 US Congress finally made it the paid holiday it is today. These rebellions over taxes led to full-scale revolutionary war.
