Well that's a pretty intellectually void statement. Honestly, it sounds a little bit too much like "manifest destiny", is overly patriotic (even for an American) and boarders on the Nationalistic. Seriously stating that American independence was a "historical inevitability" makes as much sense as claiming that Germany was "destined" to expand eastwards

Anyways, here in the United Kingdom of America, the Fourth of July is still celebrated in a similar manner to Guy Fawkes Day in the UK of the British Isles. It's primarily found in the Dominion of British America, though it has spread in small parts to the other Dominions including Canada, Newfoundland, Northwest Territories and British Columbia. The celebrations mostly involve hanging or burning effigies of the traitor George Washington - for whom the day is named - and his co-conspirators, memorials for wartime heroes (especially the patriot Benedict Arnold), and fireworks remembering the rout of the rebels.
