Truth About Independence Day [PDF ebook] 

Nothing feels more American than celebrating the Fourth of July. But what exactly happened that day to make it the day we celebrate our freedom? Readers may be surprised to find out that the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 2-not July 4! This book sheds light on many commonly held beliefs about America’s day of independence and makes clear what is myth and what is fact. Historical images and fun fact boxes complement the main text.
