John Hancock was the first and most prominent signer of the Declaration of Independence, and he famously signed it in large letters so King George III could see it without his spectacles. However, he was not the only one to sign on July 4th; most delegates signed later, with the official signing occurring on August 2, 1776. Hancock's bold signature symbolized the colonies' commitment to independence and served as a rallying point for others. His act of defiance against British rule became an iconic moment in American history.

July 4, 1776. Declaration of Independence.
William Samuel Johnson did not sign the Declaration of Independence. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress, but he was not present when the Declaration was adopted on July 4, 1776. Instead, he played a role in the Constitutional Convention later, where he contributed to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
Independence Day. On July 4, 1776 the Declaration of Independence (the document) was signed to show that we are/were a separate country from Great Britain.Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.The point in 1776 when the southern half of the British Empire in North America blew its chance to be Canadian, thereby consigning itself to 200+ years of controversy over the right to bear arms, instead of benefiting from free health care and metrication.
The reason Independence Day is on July Fourth is because in 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed. This was on July Fourth and come on declaration of INDEPENDENCE and INDEPENDENCE day. :)
