U.S.A. Independence Day - July 4th

In the early years that America was colonized, Great Britain kept making more and more rules for the colonists and kept raising their taxes. The colonists began to feel the need to make their own rules and no longer wanted Great Britain to have control over them.

Congress then met together in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They appointed a committee to draw up a document stating their wishes to Great Britain. The committee ask Thomas Jefferson to draw up the first draft. He worked in secrecy from the British, for days on this document. After he had completed the document, the committee met again to look it over. They made some revisions until it stated exactly what their wishes were.

This document was to declare their independence from Great Britain. The official document called The Declaration Of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776. This day was to become Independence Day from that day forward for the United States. However it was not until January of the year 1777 that The Declaration of Independence was sent to all the states that were formed at that time.

The Declaration of Independence is so much more than just a document. It is a symbol of this great country's independence and their commitment to certain ideas. The colonists could look at the document and know what goals and ideas each of them felt strongly about and were working towards. Today we can look at the Declaration of Independence and immediately think of the goals we should always be working
for, and about the people who have fought so hard to make these ideas possible. All those who signed the Declaration risked their lives. The British law demanded people to be hanged for treason by the leaders in Great Britain. Signing this document was considered treason by the British. The colonists put much effort and strong ideas on how they wanted their new found country to be.

The library of Congress has a copy of the rough draft of the Declaration of Independence online.

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, picnics, concerts, baseball games, political speeches, singing on SingSnap (I made that last one up) and ceremonies

Canada Day - July 1st

Frequently referred to as "Canada's birthday," particularly in the popular press, the occasion marks the joining of the British colonies of Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Province of Canada into a federation of four provinces (the Province of Canada being divided, in the process,

into Ontario and Quebec) on July 1, 1867. However, though Canada is regarded as having become a dominion in its own right on that date,

the British Parliament at first kept limited rights of political control over the new country, which were shed by stages over the years until the last
vestiges were ended in 1982, when the Constitution Act patriated the Canadian constitution. Canada Day thus differs from Independence Day

celebrations in some other countries in that it does not commemorate a militant assertion of political self-determination, but rather recognizes one

of the major milestones of the long and peaceful political process which formed the modern nation of Canada

Sing any song that gives you a feeling of patriotism or that have the following words in the title/lyric/artist: Red, White, Blue, Independence,freedom,country,proud,american,liberty, celebration,glory, united. Feel free to add your own words!
Alternatively sing any song whose title/artist begins with a letter from I N D E P E N D E N C E D A Y
