Great question! The Declaration of Independence was officially adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which is why that date is celebrated as Independence Day in the U.S. However, most of the actual signing happened later, on August 2, 1776—so it wasn’t all done in one day! 


Think of it like a big group project—drafting, discussing, and finalizing took time. July 4th was when they agreed on the final wording, but signatures were added over the following weeks. Let me know if you want to dive deeper into it!
