During the American Revolution the original Thirteen Colonies voted to legally separate from Great Britain on July 2nd, 1776 and the Declaration of Independence was approved on July 4th, 1776.
In a stunning coincidence the only two original signers of the Declaration of Independence that went on to serve as President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, died on the same day, July 4th, 1826. Two other presidents, James Monroe and Calvin Coolidge, also died on July 4th.
