Source: THE STORY OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE: Illustrated Story of Its Adoption with the Biographies and Portraits of the Signers and of the Secretary of Congress (Washington, D.C: Government Printing Office, 1904. Text, 94 pp.; portraits 57 pp., facsimiles 21pp.):

Quotation: "The independence of the United States was declared by resolution on the 2nd of July 1776, and the adoption of the form of the Declaration on the 4th of July was a secondary matter. It is a little strange that more importance was not attached to the 2nd of July in connection with the Declaration of Independence. The resolution introduced by Richard Henry Lee, which declared our independence, was passed on the 2nd. This was really the vital point--the critical juncture." (p.14)
