Records about the Declaration of Independence

During the American Revolution, the thirteen colonies had legally separated from Britain when the Second Continental Congress voted on July 2, 1776, to approve a resolution proposed by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia declaring independence. After voting to declare independence, the Continental Congress turned its attention to the creation of the Declaration of Independence, which explained the reasons for independence. The Declaration of Independence was prepared by a committee of five, with Thomas Jefferson as the primary author. The Continental Congress then revised and debated the text, and it was finally passed on July 4. On July 3, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail Adams:
July 2, 1776 will go down in history as one of the most memorable moments in American history. I believe that our future generations will celebrate this great anniversary every year. This day should be celebrated as a day of salvation, obtained through solemn devotion to the Almighty. This day should be solemnly celebrated with festive parades, performances, games, sports, gun firing, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of the continent to the other, from this time forward and forever.
