With backyard barbecues and fireworks, Americans celebrated Independence
Day by participating in time-honored traditions that expressed pride in
their country's 242nd birthday.
But this quintessential American holiday was being marked with a sense of a United States divided for some, evidenced by competing televised events in the nation's capital.
From New York to California, July Fourth festivities ranged from the lively and to the lighthearted, with Macy's July Fourth fireworks and Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest.
Seen here are boaters on the Potomac River in Washington watch the fireworks display on the National Mall, on Wednesday July 04,2018

Fireworks explode over Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and US Capitol, along the National Mall in Washington during the Fourth of July celebration
