Explanation

56 delegates signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, though not all signed on July 4th. The actual signing took place over several months, with most signing on August 2, 1776. The signers represented the 13 colonies and risked treason by endorsing this revolutionary document that declared independence from Britain.
