You know, The Dutch had a great war for independence too. 80 Years it lasted, against the Spanish. It's true. Spanish, total scumbags. We beat them though. Because Northern Europe > Southern Europe.

As an American, I have no idea what the significance behind the 4th of July is. It's not when we declared freedom, and it's not when the declaration was signed.

It's the day when congress officially declared independence, but you're right that the document that we all think of as THE declaration wasn't signed on July 4th.

Proposed on July 2nd, rattified by congress on July 4th, and "THE declaration" was signed by the founding fathers on August 2nd. Something like that.

it was when the draft of the declaration that we know today was approved. it was also the date that copies of it began to be circulated by the press.
