Independence Day

How did America declare its independence day, A successful war which gained America's freedom against England. A war fought with sacrifice. It conquered it's freedom July Four Seventeen seventy-six. It has been celebrated for two hundred forty-one years A long battle fought against England after the Revolutionary War. A feud amongst two countries to secure our homeland. The no taxation which began to cause tension and chaos amongst settlers and British. Over laws which many disagreed upon. Upon many riots, many tossed tea over the sea. Later became known as the Boston Tea Party. During seventeen seventy-three. In honor of fourteen colonies America shot its ammunition fourteen times loudly. Every American knew it was in honor of our fourteen established Colonies. Even then Americas flag only had fourteen stars Which represented each state in America. Two hundred forty-one years later. Americas flag now has fifty-one stars Americas flag is red, white and blue. It has fifty-one small stars on the top left corner All in a roll inside a small rectangle The background behind the fifty-one stars is blue On the right side of the fifty-one stars, the flag has medium size stripes The color of the stripes are white and red They play a pattern which follows red white red white horizontally A flag is placed on a pole so it doesn't touch the floor Every star represents each country. The white house even has a memorial place for every fallen hero Many do not know Americas Declaration of Independence wasn't signed On July four Seventeen Seventy-Six. The declaration was signed after each voted in favor of Richard Henry Lee The actual date it was truly signed was on August two seventeen seventy-six Two months after it conquered its freedom from Great Britain. America celebrates its independence day annually to celebrate its victory against Great Britain.
