He did not want to be remembered as one of the people in the Continental Congress who did not sign the Declaration and prevent our independence. He would have prevented our independence because the other 12 states agreed on independence, and all 13 had to agree, so it was down to Pennsylvania and it was split in half so Wilson had the last vote and he voted for independence.
