1 During the 17th and 18th centuries, many people sailed from England to America and started a new life there. New territories like this in other countries were called colonies. The King of England was still king of the people in the colonies, and so they had to send taxes (налоги) to England every year. But after a while the American colonies wanted to be free from England: they wanted their government to be in America. They did not want to send money to England and were very angry about this.
2 In 1770 British soldiers fired guns at some Americans in Boston, and in 1773 there was the famous Boston Tea Party. A ship transporting tea came to Boston and there was a fight about paying taxes on the tea. Three hundred and forty big boxes of tea went into the water. That made King George very angry. He wanted to control the Americans.
3 b On 4 July, 1776, American politicians wrote the Declaration of Independence (Декларация независимости) in Philadelphia. They said they were a free country, separate from Britain. That started the American War of Independence. The British and Americans fought against each other until 1781. In 1783, both sides agreed to the Independence, and the United States of America was born.
4 D Now, every year on 4 July, Americans celebrate Independence Day. There are special church services, but most of the celebrations are outside because it is summer. Many families have a barbecue and play games outside, in their gardens or in a park. In many towns, there are parades through the streets with loud music and bright colours. Independence Day usually ends with lots of fireworks. It is like one big party.
