What does the Fourth of July Mean to the British? What does their version of history say?

  • Answer:

    One year at the end of June I was in Bath and saw signs for their upcoming Fourth of July fireworks celebration. But I imagine that was more for the benefit of American tourists than the locals. I also heard tale of a British ship docked in New York harbor one Fourth of July weekend that posted a big sign on their stern saying, "Happy Birthday U.S.A. - Love, Mum" But I think for the most part it's a non-event. They lost their colonies, they got over it. All is well. It's something that can be joked at now.

It means nothing to them. Their version is simply that they lost a war and a piece of the Empire.

I'm Canadian which is close to being British and the 4th of July reminds me of how rich, white guys in the United States did not want to pay their taxes. They were actually willing to go to war than pay their taxes. Not much has changed.

hence was the term - "good riddance to bad rubbish" first spoken.

It comes just before the 5th and just after the 3rd, and Americans think that a good reason to spend loads of money on fancy fireworks displays. And that's about it.

It means they can't tax us 70% without proper representation by the people. Get your facts right!. Tyranny got it's @55 kicked.. That's what it means. Yet our current govn't is falling into the same trap. What a joke :)

I imagine the British has their own version of the Revolutionary War. It really does not matter. America makes a better friend than a colony.
