a holiday in some places. In Boston, it replaced the date
of the Boston Massacre, March 5, as the major patriotic
holiday. Speeches, military events, parades, and fireworks
marked the day. In 1941, Congress declared July 4 a federal
holiday.

John Hancock, the president of the Second Continental
Congress, was the first to sign the Declaration. With its
ornate capitals, Hancock’s sprawling signature is prominent

their “John Hancock,” they are being asked to sign their
names.
***
The Declaration of Independence itself has become one of
the most admired and copied political documents of all time.
