Every year on July 4, parades, fireworks, barbecues, fairs, picnics, carnivals, games, political speeches, and ceremonies are held to commemorate the Independence of the United States of America. The United States' legal and governmental foundation is provided by the Constitution, but the Declaration of Independence, with its beautiful affirmation that "all men are created equal," is equally adored by the American people.
The Declaration of Independence, proclaiming the colonies' separation from Great Britain, was unanimously adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. Though the American colonies declared independence on July 4, 1776, the process began two days earlier, on July 2, 1776, when the Continental Congress decided to do so. On that day, 12 of America's 13 colonies formally declared independence from British authority. Thomas Jefferson, a prominent politician and diplomat at the time who eventually became the third President of the United States (1801-09), and Benjamin Franklin, a political philosopher, were among those who declared the American colonies to be free states.

Swami Vivekananda, a spiritual leader, composed a poem titled "To the Fourth of July" to commemorate America's independence on July 4, 1898, 123 years ago. Swami Vivekananda, who was 39 at the time, died precisely four years later, on July 4, 1902, in Belur Math in West Bengal, on the same date. Swami Vivekananda composed the following poem on July 4, 1898, while “travelling with several American followers in Kashmir,” according to the Belur Math website.
