What really happened on July 4, 1776? During a June 1776 Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia, a Virginia statesman, Richard Henry Lee proposed a motion for the Colonies to declare independence from Britain. A committee was formed to draft an official independence document, which became known as the Declaration of Independence. On July 2, 1776, Lee’s motion for independence was approved. Two days later, on July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was officially adopted and America became a free nation. After declaring independence, America continued to fight in the Revolutionary War and officially defeated Great Britain in September 1783. The Staff of the Pine Bush Library would like to wish all of our patrons and their families a happy and safe 4th of July weekend. |
