Happy Fourth of July from Copperfield Hill
The Fourth of July – also known as Independence Day, has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941. However, the history of celebrating independence goes back to the 1700’s and the American Revolution. The Continental Congress voted in favor of independence on July 2nd, 1776. Two days later, on July 4th, delegates from the original 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence. Drafted by Thomas Jefferson, this historic document and the birth of American independence has been celebrated ever since. Celebrations that include readings of the Declaration of Independence, fireworks, parades, concerts, picnics and family gatherings all mark the day America declared it’s independence as a nation united.
We hope you enjoy this day with family and friends.
