What did Thomas Jefferson mean when he wrote with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence?

When those Signers of the Declaration wrote the words ...firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,...a school child can see, if the teacher shows him, how close this is saying they put their trust in God to help them accomplish what they believed to be the will of God....! See First John chapter 5 verses 12 through 14, ie 1John 12:14. The Signers also did everything possible for them to do in the natural. They pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to one another in support of their intent. This fulfills another scripture which teaches us to do all we can do and then stand firm in hope and trust towards God. See Ephesians 6:13 where it says, ...and having done all (you can do), then stand firm (in the grace of God trusting Him to make it sufficient.) Christ is our sufficiency, especially when we are not presumptuous but pay the price we are given to do.


How many states were there after the Declaration of Independence was signed?

The war had all ready begun when the Declaration was signed. On April 18, 1775 the Battle of Concord had taken place, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and June 15, 1775 Washington was made commander of the army and the Declaration was signed July 4, 1776 so it just changed the way that the war was presented. Countries that might not have intervened in an internal struggle felt less constrained to aid the Americans. Most had ongoing disputes with Britain already. The signers of the Declaration gambled fortunes and lives by signing it. The 56 men who signed pledged lives, fortunes, and honor that day. Their average age was 44 years old and were well off. Most had money, and power in their communities. None were hungry or jobless. Of the men 24 were lawyers, 14 farmers, 4 doctors, nine merchants, and one minister. Some lost their lives during the war, others lost family members, and many lost property.
