So let's review, shall we?
In 1776, we beat the British and sent them home, after events that should not be repeated.
For instance, the British was cruel. They taxed the not-yet americans for tea and foods. Tea. So yes, my family has Tea Time, but thats also what one would call Lunch to us, we just like to call it Tea Time so my mother doesn't get homesick (since she was born in Liverpool, England).
Carrying on, The Patriots were born, and they killed a lot of the British. So there were a lot of wars, and then there was the BIG one.
The American Revolution, which consisted of smaller wars at certain places that crossed the first thirteen states of America.
After a while we won the Revolution when the Leader of the British Armies surrendered to our dear George Washington and of couse, the French came. :)
So the British went back on ships across the Ocean back to the command of King George III(?) and we celebrated, therefore announcing that July 4 is a wonderous day of Independence.
My Family is one of the most enthusiastic celebraters. My parents were born in a different country, therefor they weren't known well to the American Revolution. (Well, my mom was, since shes from England. My dad learned it in his schooling, but I don't think he listened since I gave him the whole lesson again after I learned it) So to announce that we are indeed, American, we buy the most expensive and pretty fireworks, and set them off at My Aunt's house on Camano.
Its wonderful.
We should really all celebrate Independence Day, because If you think how crappy it would be to still be under rule of England (No offense to Great Britain). We'd be taxed ridiculously. So thank those who died for you and I, otherwise, America wouldn't be so grand as it is now, and I'd probably be living in Scotland for all I know.
So Hoorah for the Free and the Brave!
Pride is a good thing, just don't Brag :)
