- Abstract
The article discusses the concept of America's Fourth of July holiday as a National Day of celebration in the country's Southern States between 1860 and 1865. The secession of states in the southern region of the U.S. during the nineteenth century is addressed, along with America's Civil War and the Confederate States of America. The histories of places such as Charleston, South Carolina are examined, along with the links between African-Americans and Fourth of July celebrations.
