On July 4, 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 American colonists who were requesting their indepedence from England. In doing so they became enemies of England and King George III - many lost their homes, were chased by the English army, their families were relocated and were never found. These men took a chance with their lives speaking out. That is what our Independence Day is all about.

Independence Day is the Forth of July and is the day that the Declaration of Independence was signed. It is not the day that the United States of America gained independance from Britain. That occured after the Revolutionary War.

Your break of dependence on another foreign power or some kind of an overseer or controller. For USA we celebrate our Independence from Great Britain and our birth of our country,

A person can celebrate independence from a controlling substance such as drugs, gambling, booze, pornography, or a controlling person/relationship for example.

It is the day we officially became a country, it's the day we declared our independence from Great Britain.

Independence Day commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. It is a federal holiday that celebrates when the nation was declared to be independent.
