Because, at the time of its signing, he was an Army General not a statesman.

He wasn't part of drafting the declaration.
Hell, John Hancock was one of only two people who actually signed it on the first day. some of those signatures were literally added a decade later.

Because he was not a member of the 56 delegates that drafted and constructed the doccument. He was not there and was not considered much of an intellectual.
