Early that morning, at sunrise, U.S. occupational troops stationed at Fort Moore, commanded by 2nd Lieutenant John W. Davidson, 1st U.S. Dragoons, raised the stars and stripes with a 13-gun artillery salute.

The Fourth of July— known as Independence Day or July 4th— a federal holiday in the United States since 1941; tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. July 2nd, 1776, Continental Congress voted for independence, two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, drafted by Thomas Jefferson.
