INDEPENDENCE DAY TIDBITS

I just finished reading Carl Becker's The Declaration of Independence and I'd give it a B- overall but I did learn a few things.  First of all, the LEGAL declaration of independence was passed by Congress on July 2, 1776. (p. 1)  Second, the Declaration of Independence was not signed by the members until August 2, 1776. (p. 185)
