In my opinion the biggest myth is that it was adopted and signed by the delegates it on July 4, 1776. Jefferson's draft was changed first by John Adams and Benjamin Franklin, then presented to the Congress, which made further changes. On July 4, 1776 the delegates were done with changes and they had an acceptable format for the declaration. John Hancock and Charles Thomson, Secretary of Congress, were the sole signers that day. Single page copies were printed for distribution again with only Hancock and Thomson's names on it. On July 19, Congres ordered the Declaration be engrossed (made into a larger document) on parchment and signed by all delegates. Most delegates signed it on August 2, 1776. The othe myth is that there is a map on the back. There is not.

Did the Republicans believe in states' rights?

In the Republican platform of 1856 the first resolve was "That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in the Declaration of Independence, and embodied in the Federal Constitution are essential to the preservation of our Republican institutions, and that the Federal Constitution, the rights of the States, and the union of the States, must and shall be preserved." The Republican party from its inception was supportive of the rights of States. Popular myth would tell you otherwise, but the document speaks for itself.
