Independence Day

In your opinion, would it be more logical to observe Independence Day on July 2 instead of July 4? Give three reasons why or why not.

  1. I think July 4th is appropriate for Independence Day because on July 2nd they were still debating and revising the Declaration. JUly 4th was when they adopted and printed the Declaration. That is why July 4th should be celebrated.

  3. The fourth of July is more appropriate due to the fact that the Declaration of Independence has the date of July 4th thou, July 2nd has more meaning the people will remember the date on the paper then the mere act of declaring independence, because people may have their own date of themselves declaring independence from Great Britain .

  4. Independence Day should be in July 4th because the Delcaration of Independence was adopted on July 4th, 1776,and on July 2nd, it was just a day that they declared independence. Even tho it wasnt signed until July 19th, 1776 we should still celebrate Indenpence Day on July 4th because thats the date that it was offically adopted by the Congress.

  6. Declaration of Independence was signed on August 2nd, not on July 19th. It was ordered to be signed on July 19th,but it was actually signed on August 2nd. Sorry for the wrong date..

  7. July 2 -- Congress declares independence as the British fleet and army arrive at New York.

  8. In my opinion, I truly believe that Independence Day should be celebrated on July 2nd. Mainly because, Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4th. They had already declared Independence when British fleets and army arrived in New York. Independence Day should be about when we declared independence from Great Britain, not from the congress adopting the Declaration of Independence. That is my opinion (:

  9. In My Opinion July 2nd should be the day we celebrate Independence Day. The vote was made in congress to break with England. The third reason is because July 4 was only printed thats it.
