Independence Day is a federal holiday, meaning courts, post offices, and other government entities are closed.
Ironically, the 4th of July also marks the death of Founding Fathers Adams and Jefferson — the two ex-presidents died on the same day, July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. James Monroe, the fifth president, also died on the 4th of July in 1831. The only president born on the 4th of July is Calvin Coolidge n 1872.
