Fun Facts |
| The Declaration of Independence
was actually approved July 2nd,
not July 4th. |
| It wasn't really signed by all
the signers until months afterwards. |
| The "all men are created
equal" phrase really meant
"all wealthy white men are
created equal." |
| "The pursuit of
happiness" was added as an
inalienable right by Thomas
Jefferson after a long day, as a
joke. |
| At the time of the Declaration,
one third of the country remained
loyal to the King, roughly the same
percentage as today. |
