John Hancock, and he wrote it very large so King George III, whose sight was failing, would clearly be able to see it was Hancock rebelling.

Actually, a much later date would be more accurate. We celebrate the date we declared independence, not the date the Declaration was actually ratified nor the date we actually gained independence. We're taught to ignore the fact that we could have still lost the war and then declaring our independence in the Revolution would have been useless as we would have remained colonies of Britian. We're also incorrectly taught that the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration on July 4, 1776, thus ratifing it on that date. Try August 2, 1776, that's the actual date of ratification. In order for a document to actually be ratified those ratifying it must sign their names to it to make the ratification official, most of the delegates did not sign until August 2nd with only Hancock signing July 4th. But we had to win the war in order to truely gain our independence. That means a date of October 19, 1781 when Cronwallis surrendered to Washington, bringing the war to an end. Then you look to September 3, 1783 when the Treaty of Paris was ratified, officially ending the war and declaring the colonies a new, independent nation.
