July 4th is a major date in U.S. History. America celebrates July 4 as
Independence Day because it was on July 4, 1776, that members of the
Second Continental Congress <http://www.factmonster.com/id/A0194018> ,
meeting in Philadelphia,
<http://www.factmonster.com/cgi-bin/id/A0108580.html>  Pennsylvania,
adopted the final draft of the Declaration of Independence
<http://www.factmonster.com/cgi-bin/id/A0814928.html> . Over time,
various summertime activities also came to be associated with the Fourth
of July, including historical pageants, parades, picnics, baseball
games, watermelon-eating contests, and other celebrations.
