Ah. Well I don't know anything about that war, but Independence Day comes from when the 13 original colonies of the United States defeated their British rulers. It was during a time where the people of the colonies were being mistreated and overtaxed. From what I know, the people of the colonies weren't looking for a revolution at first, only to be treated fairly. Eventually they were pushed to the point where breaking free of the British Government rule was the only option.
