Why do we celebrate the 4th of July?

Every year, we gather with friends & family, stuff our faces with delicious food, participate in parades, and ignite the sky with dazzling fireworks to celebrate the 4th of July. But amidst all the excitement and joy, it's easy to forget the true essence of this historical day. So, let's dive into the deep waters of history and explore why July 4th holds such a significant place in the chronicles of time. Get your snacks ready and brace yourself for an exhilarating expedition through history...


THE BIRTH OF A NATION: Happy Birthday, America!

On the Fourth of July, 1776, all eyes were on Philadelphia as the Second Continental Congress convened. The atmosphere was electric, with delegates from the thirteen American colonies assembling to shape the destiny of a nation. Little did they know that their gathering would become the catalyst for an extraordinary event that would forever change the world.


Amidst fervent debates and impassioned speeches, the delegates made history. They adopted a document that would go down in the annals of time: the Declaration of Independence. This bold proclamation asserted the separation of the American colonies from Great Britain, declaring to the world the birth of a new nation—the United States of America.


The Declaration of Independence was not just a piece of parchment; it was a revolutionary act that sent thunderous shockwaves across the entire globe. It boldly declared that all individuals are born with certain unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These ideas of equality, freedom, and self-governance became the bedrock of American society, inspiring generations of revolutionaries around the world. Now that’s savage.


The significance of the 4th of July extends far beyond American shores. The audacity and courage exhibited by these delegates inspired countless movements for independence around the world. The American Revolution became a beacon of hope for those yearning for liberty, serving as a guiding light for future generations seeking self-determination.


Now, as we indulge in the 4th of July festivities, it's not just about the fireworks, parades, and BBQs (although, let's be honest, those things rock). It's a time for us to come together, temporarily forgetting our petty differences, and celebrating the values that make us who we are. 


Let's take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who blazed the trail, while we, at Savage Jerky, proudly stand by those who have given their all. It's time to rekindle our commitment to liberty, equality, and justice, and keep the spirit of their sacrifices alive and kicking. Together, let's celebrate with our unwavering support and make them proud.
