How many of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, 1776 can you name?
Go off memory, not off google.

rac said...: I know all of them. The answer is none. The the "official" version of the Declaration of Independence on display in the National Archives was not signed until a month later.; July 5, 2009 at 4:39 AM
DRL said...: rac, you are half right. It was sort of a trick question, and you knew that. Kudos's (sp?)

However two men did sign the original document. They were the president and the secretary of the Continental Congress.

John Hancock (sp?) was the President of the Continental Congress

Charles Thomson (sp?) was the Secretary of the Continental Congress.
