Independence Day

This is the national holiday of my grandmother Sunni. She was born and raised an American and always proud of it. The 4 July was the day when the first part of the present day USA declared its independence from Great Britain. The origin of the feud was a small tax that the Brits levied off the American colonists to pay for the military defence of these colonies. Ironically, the Americans pay much higher taxes today. Grandmother Sunni still claimed the USA was the freest land in the world and that the taxes would have been higher, had the colonies stayed British. I hold these things to be true, since grandmum told me about them.
