When did America gain independance?
The United States Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were now independent states, and thus no longer a part of the British Empire.Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration is a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The birthday of the United States of America-Independence Day-is celebrated on July 4, the day the wording of the Declaration was approved by Congress.After finalizing the text on July 4, Congress issued the Declaration of Independence in several forms. The most famous version of the Declaration, a signed copy that is usually regarded as the Declaration of Independence, is on display at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Although the wording of the Declaration was approved on July 4, the date of its signing has been disputed. Most historians have concluded that it was signed nearly a month after its adoption, on August 2, 1776, and not on July 4 as is commonly thought.

What date did the British approve of the Declaration of Independence?
The "British" didn't approve the Declaration and they weren't asked. The colonies got the Declaration on July 4, 1776 when it was published. It was approved by Congress. Britain formerly recognised the independence of the Thirteen Colonies on 9 April 1784 with the ratification of the Treaty of Paris. In the Treaty, Britain acknowledged that the Thirteen Colonies were free, sovereign and independent States, and that the British Crown and all heirs and successors relinquish claims to the Government, propriety, and territorial rights of the same, and every part thereof.

What date was the signing of the Declaration of Independence?
It was adopted on July 2, 1776 after the Continental Congress made many changes in Jefferson's original draft. Once it was in acceptable form, it was verbally read into the journal of the Congress and a voice vote taken. That voice vote was the true adoption of the Declaration. The marked up draft then went to be written formally and enlarged. That was done and made ready by July 4, 1776. The new written document was compared to what had been written in the journal and adopted as the true version of what had been verbally approved on July 2. Only John Hancock and Charles thomson, Secretary of Congress, signed it on July 4, 1776. A new version was printed with most delegates signing on August 2, 1776.
What day was the Declaration of Independence signed by representatives from the thirteen colonies?
it was approved by the house on , July 4, 1776 and signed on August 2, 1776 The Lee Resolution claiming independence was adopted (congress does not ratify its own resolutions) on 7/2 in closed session of the Continental Congress (2d). (There was no House and Senate.) The Declaration, explaining the rationale, was adopted by the congress on 7/4. It was published with that date and first read publicly in Philly with the ringing of the Liberty Bell on 7/8. As the Declaration was what was generally published, the folks at that time used the date they saw. The document had to be ratified by the "colonies" and formal signing began on 8/2. I do not know the procedure for ratification. The Continental Congress turned into the Confederation Congress or the Congress of the Confederation with the Articles of Confederation. They wrote the US Constitution and so we got what we now have as just "Congress," a House and a Senate. See Related Links for a Timeline.
