"The Second of July, 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History ofAmerica. I am apt to believe it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations,
as the great anniversary Festival."
John Adams
I have just recently learned something new: the Continental Congress declared independence on July 2, 1776. The document was adopted two days later.
You can find this, and a few more "myths" about the fourth over at the History News Network.

I suppose the part obout R2 being a member of the continental congress was a myth as well?
