The age gap among the Continental Congress members was enormous. Benjamin Franklin was one of the oldest major figures, born in 1706 and already 70 years old in 1776, while Stephen Hopkins of Rhode Island was just a year younger.

At the other end were some remarkably young signers, including Edward Rutledge and Thomas Lynch Jr. of South Carolina, both born in 1749 and only 26 during the signing of the Declaration. If the Declaration were signed this year, they would have been born in 1999.

John Trumbull’s famous 1819 painting is often mistaken for the actual signing of the Declaration of Independence, but it really depicts the Committee of Five presenting the draft to the Continental Congress. At the center are John Adams, Roger Sherman, Robert Livingston, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin.

The artwork became one of the defining images of the American Revolution, portraying the Declaration not as a single dramatic signature, but as a public process of debate, presentation, and approval. Today, the painting is best known for appearing on the back of the U.S. two-dollar bill, although the bill’s version crops out several figures from the original scene.

"For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue."
-James Garfield

We are blessed to have the freedom to enjoy not just a long weekend, but the many freedoms we take for granted on the daily. Let's remember the why, the who, and how we got here; Please take a moment to pause, remember, and honor the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.
