A few factoids to wrap up our Independence Day celebrations
1. The resolution on Independence was actually passed on the 2nd
2. The first public reading was on the 6th.
3. John Hancock, the first to sign, did so on August 2nd and nobody but the Congressional secretary was there to see it
4. The last signature didn’t happen until as late as 1781.
So really we can keep celebrating for another month…………..
