Commemoration of the American Revolution

Commemoration of the American Revolution is when people remember and celebrate the Revolution, which was a war fought by American colonists (the people living in the colonies) against the British army in the late 1700s. The colonists were fighting for their independence and the right to govern themselves. People commemorate the Revolution by re-telling the story, displaying statues and monuments, and hosting parades and festivals to celebrate it. It's important to remember and celebrate the Revolution because it changed history and brought the idea of democracy to the United States.
