Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the United States Declaration of Independence was signed on 4 July 1776?

No. Two reference sources state the Declaration of Independence was signed on August 2, 1776, not July 4, 1776; a third notes only John Hancock signed on July 4, with other delegates signing later.
