July 1, 1776 was the first vote on national independence at the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. The motion (the Lee Resolution) carried 9-2. The next day another vote was taken, with 12 delegations voting in favor (NY abstained.. whatever). As far as John Adams was concerned, "the second day of July 1776 will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America." He considered it a done deal, telling his wife "I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival."

On July 4, 1776, after 2 days of edits, the D of I was adopted. It was signed on August 2, 1776. So enjoy your independence day, whether it be July 1st, 2nd, 4th ...... or August 2nd.

Of note, Vermont historians claim they were never a colony of Great Britain, therefore they didn't need to declare their independence. I love Vermont...
