Treason Day is a term sometimes used to refer to July 4th, the day the United States celebrates its independence from Great Britain. The name ‘Treason Day’ is often used humorously or ironically by those who view the American Revolution from a British perspective. From this viewpoint, the American colonists’ decision to declare independence and fight against British rule could be seen as an act of treason against the British Crown.
However, in the United States, July 4th is celebrated as Independence Day, marking the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. This day is a national holiday filled with festivities, fireworks, parades, and patriotic displays, commemorating the birth of American independence and the values of freedom and democracy.
