August 2, 1776 –
The signing of the Declaration of Independence didn’t occur on July 4.
After the Continental Congress voted to declare independence on July 2, the final language of the document was approved on July 4, and it was printed and distributed on July 4–5. The actual signing was on this date. Matthew Thornton from New Hampshire didn’t get around to sign it until November 4, 1776.
And so it goes
