Happy American Independence Day Background

Although Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin later claimed to have signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, historians have long contested whether members of Congress actually did so on that day.

The only two signatories of the Declaration of Independence who went on to become president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams, both passed away on the same day, July 4, 1826, marking the 50th anniversary of the Declaration. Jefferson even made reference to this event.

James Monroe, another elected Founding Father who was not a signer of the Declaration of Independence, passed away on July 4, 1831, making him the third President to pass away on the anniversary of independence. Calvin Coolidge was the only president of the United States to have been born on July 4th.
