Bursting
firecrackers is a symbol of collective happiness and joy. The
Fireworks of 4 July is iconic in the United States. The nation of 50 states
celebrates its independence day on July 4th. The night sky of New York, Los
Angeles, and other cities in America will be filled with colorful fireworks
marking the adoption of independence by the continental congress in 1776.

In the mid 18th
century, the sparks of fire of freedom spread all over the united states
(which was called British America back then) as George Washington and his
fellow freedom fighters struggled against the British establishment. Things
changed rapidly after the French revolution and USA got closer to its
freedom.

John Hancock, the
president of the continental congress signed the historical document that
brought a new nation to the globe. Two future Presidents Thomas Jafferson
and John Adams were also part of the panel of signatories.

John Adams, the
second president of the United states, was one of the founding figures of the
idea of freedom in the states. Adam was a man known for his popularity
amongst the people living in different regional colonies. His “idea of
nationwide celebration” began the fireworks culture on the eve of four July
in the US.

The first-ever independence anniversary celebration took place in 1777. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania witnessed the first July 4 celebration in the country. The party began with a military parade, then a 13-gun salute, to mark the incorporation of all 13 colonies, which was followed by colorful fireworks.

Since then every
4 July celebration has a lot of colorful fireworks that remind us of Jonh
Adams’ vision of a countrywide celebration.

“It ought to be
solemnized with pomp and parade, with games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires
and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other” John wrote to
her wife before he signed the draft of the declaration.
