Hvornår godkendte kongressen uafhængigheds erklæringen?
2. august 1776
Signing of the United States Declaration of Independence
Det endelige udkast til erklæringen blev godkendt af den kontinentale kongres den 4. juli, selv om datoen for underskrivelsen længe har været omstridt. De fleste historikere har konkluderet, at den blev underskrevet den 2. august 1776, næsten en måned efter vedtagelsen, og ikke den 4. juli, som man almindeligvis tror.
August 2, 1776
Signing of the United States Declaration of Independence
The final draft of the Declaration was approved by the Continental Congress on July 4, although the date of its signing has long been disputed. Most historians have concluded that it was signed on August 2, 1776, nearly a month after its adoption, and not on July 4 as is commonly believed.
