Fireworks are an essential part of America's Independence Day celebrations - but do you know why the celebration on July 4 is famous for an explosion?

Seeing the tradition goes back to 1776, when John Adams imagined that the sparkling sky would honor the 13 colonies that would soon become independent each year in the July 3 message to his wife Abigail.

The future president wrote, according to the National Archives, "I am ready to believe that it will be celebrated, through future generations, as the great anniversary festival 

It has to be formal with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one end of this continent to another from this time forward forever."

The Second Continental Conference finally adopted the Declaration of Independence the following day. While some public readings of the advertisement were met with "impromptu celebrations" from local militias in Pennsylvania and New Jersey on July 8, the official fireworks display would not illuminate the sky for another year, according to History.com.

The national bustle shook the first organized celebration on July 4 in Philadelphia in 1777, and fireworks closed largely in the evening.

The evening newspaper Pennsylvania reported at the time that "the evening was closed with the ringing of bells", and at night there was a large fireworks exhibition (it began and concluded with thirteen rockets) on the whole, and the city was beautiful illuminated.

"Everything was executed with the greatest kindness and face, and the face of joy and joy was universal."

Boston also launched fireworks on July 4, 1777, and the rest, they say, is history.

Fireworks became available for sale to the public in 1783, according to Farmer's Almanac reports, and this tradition has lived ever since - in a great way. According to the American Fireworks Association, Americans spent more than $ 1 billion on fireworks last year.
