Fourth of July is celebrated with great pomp, gaiety and fanfare with bands, picnics, meetings, concerts and fireworks throughout the United States of America. It was on this day in 1767 the Founding-Fathers at the meeting of the continental Congress in Philadelphia proclaimed the “Declaration of Independence”. But it took nearly eight more years of fighting till General George Washington defeated the British. American Constitution would only be adopted after eleven years in 1788 and a stable Central Government established in the United States.
