For
centuries, the United States and France have had a friendly
relationship. Both nations have always had the desire for freedom,
democracy, and human rights.
Every year on the 4th of July, we celebrate our independence,
and remember the struggles and sacrifices of our forefathers.
The “Statue of Liberty” was a gift from France to
the people of the United States on July 4th, 1884 in recognition
of friendship between France and the United States during the
American Revolution.
“Bastille Day” is a national holiday in France,
celebrating the beginning of a new government. France was a
monarchy, ruled by kings and queens with very little consideration
for the people. The Bastille, a political prison, was full of
French citizens who demanded a change in how the country was
ruled. So, on July 14, 1789, the French citizens gathered together
and stormed the Bastille.
The American and the French Revolutions brought great changes,
not only for their respective countries, but also to the rest
of the world.
We, the people, rule ourselves and make our own decisions.
