考考你：美国国庆日为什么是7月4日？

众所周知，美国《独立宣言》草稿是杰弗逊等人起草的。1776年6月28日，大陆会议（不等于美国国会）任命的一个委员会开会商议该宣言，作了少许修改，并于1776年7月2日予以宣布。大陆会议命令所有成员签署该宣言，并于1776年8月2日开始签署“官方”文本。后来（本人还不确知何时），“官方”将1776年7月4日定为“美国独立日”—美国国庆日。

从上述几个日子看，美国国庆日都与7月4日无关。更重要的是，100个美国人有99个半都不知道美国国庆日选在7月4日的来历。

同胞们，你知道美国国庆日为什么是7月4日吗？

如果你不知道，让我告诉你。

When was the Declaration of Independence　adopted?
July 4, 1776
In 1774, representatives from 12 of the 13 colonies　met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for the First　Continental Congress. Of the 13 colonies, only
Georgia was absent.

These representatives were angry　about British laws that treated them unfairly. They　began to organize an army. The Second Continental　Congress met in 1775 after fighting began between　the colonists and the British Army.

This Congress asked　Thomas Jefferson and others to write the Declaration　of Independence. When Thomas Jefferson finished　his draft of the Declaration of Independence, he took it to John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and the others　on the committee to review it. After changes were　made by the committee, the Declaration was read　to the members of the entire Congress. The purpose　of the Declaration was to announce the separation　of the colonies from England.

The Declaration of　Independence stated that if a government does not
protect the rights of the people, the people can create　a new government. For this reason, the colonists　separated from their British rulers. On July 4,　1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the　Declaration of Independence.

Question 9: What do we celebrate on the 4th of July?

Answer 9: Independence Day

Congress voted for the United States to become independent　from Great Britain on July 2, 1776. However, we celebrate　Independence Day on July 4th. This is because it took two　days for Congress to vote to accept an official Declaration of　Independence. This Declaration was written by Thomas　Jefferson and edited by Congress. It explained why the　American colonies were separating from their British ruler.　

The 4th of July is now considered to be the birthday of　America. We celebrate with parades, fireworks, the playing　of patriotic songs, and live readings of the Declaration of　Independence.
