How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
July 4th through history
Independence in Philadelphia, and the last ration book
The Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4th 1776 in Philadelphia. The vote to separate from Britain had been taken two days earlier, and John Adams told his wife that the second of July would be the day Americans celebrated for ever after. Most delegates did not sign until August 2nd. The Fourth won because it was the date printed at the top of the document.
Rationing ended in Britain at midnight on July 4th 1954, fourteen years and five months after it began. Meat was the last thing to come off. Butchers sold without coupons the following morning, Smithfield opened as a free market for the first time since 1939, and the Ministry of Food was wound up shortly afterwards.
On July 4th 1862 Charles Dodgson rowed three sisters called Liddell up the Isis from Folly Bridge to Godstow and told them, to keep them quiet, a story about a girl who fell down a rabbit hole. He remembered it afterwards as a golden afternoon; the Oxford weather records suggest it was cool and rather wet. Alice asked him to write it down.
No American president has been born on the Fourth of July except Calvin Coolidge, the thirtieth president of the United States, born in 1872, though three have died on it. The Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida and the playwright Neil Simon were both born on July 4th 1927, and the soul singer Bill Withers in 1938.
Born on July 4th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Gina Lollobrigida and Neil Simon — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Cancer — a Water sign ruled by the Moon, symbolised by the Crab.
Birthstone
Ruby for July.
Birth flower
Larkspur (primary), also Water Lily — most commonly cited sources agree on larkspur as the main July flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
