4th of July 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.
