1. On the 4th of July, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental congress.
2. The Declaration of Independence was signed by 56 men representing the 13 colonies. The moment the declaration was signed it marked the beginning of all-out war against the British.
3. Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States of America and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.
4. Over an estimated 150 million hot dogs are consumed in the United States each Independence Day.
5. The 13 stars on the American flag were arranged in a circle originally to represent equality between the original thirteen colonies. There were several versions of the early flag, including one with the stars arranged in vertical lines. The "Betsy Ross Flag," which depicts the stars, in a circle was the most popular.
6. Benjamin Franklin supposedly wanted the wild turkey to be the national bird, but was outvoted by both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who chose the bald eagle. The bird of prey native only to North America became the official bird of the United States of America.
7. Ironically, though the United States was born on July Fourth, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4th, 1826.
