Independence
Independence is a condition of a person, nation, country, or state in which residents and population, or some portion thereof, exercise self-government, and usually sovereignty, over its territory. The opposite of independence is the status of a dependent territory. The commemoration of the independence day of a country or nation celebrates when a country is free from all forms of foreign colonialism; free to build a country or nation without any interference from other nations. Definition of independence Whether the attainment of independence is different from revolution has long been contested, and has often been debated over the question of violence as legitimate means to achieving sovereignty. In general, revolutions aim only to redistribute power with or without an element of emancipation,such as in democratization ''within'' a state, which as such may remain unaltered.

Independence (fireboat)
The Philadelphia Fire Department started operating the fireboat ''Independence'' in 2007. The vessel cost $5 million, $4.5 million of which came from a FEMA Port Security Grant. On September 10, 2010, both the ''Independence'' and a smaller fireboat, the ''Fireboat Seven'', from Westville, New Jersey responded to a dock fire in Paulsboro, New Jersey. ''Fireboat Seven'' had arrived first, and put the fire out, without assistance. When the ''Independence'' received orders to turn around, when it was near the dock, she reversed quickly, generating a wake so large it caused ''fireboat seven'' to alide with shore-side equipment. Westville's insurance adjuster determined that ''Fireboat Seven'' was damaged beyond repair. After a failure to reach an out-of-court settlement, Westville sued Philadelphia. Philadelphia countersued. On July 30, 2014, Westville initiated a lawsuit in Federal Court. Philadelphia finally settled, on March 31, 2016, for $117,000. See also * Fireboats of ...
