See how Americans are celebrating the nation’s 250th anniversary

Americans are marking the nation's 250th anniversary through various celebrations, including parades and fireworks across the country. However, a national poll conducted by the Cato Institute think tank involving over 2,000 U.S. adults indicates a significant knowledge gap. The survey results reveal that nearly half of the population, specifically 46% of Americans, do not know what the 250th anniversary is actually celebrating, despite the festivities occurring around the July 4 holiday and the country's birthday.
