During the American Revolution, the separation of Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain occurred on July’2. Moreover, on the same day, the second continental congress made a vote to approve the resolution of independence that declared United States independent from Great Britain rule.
However, it was two days later that Congress accepted Thomas Jefferson declaration that explained the VOTE decision. Congress then debated and finally approved July’4 as Independence Day.
