The motion to declare independence was adopted by the US Continental Congress was adopted on July 2, my birthday, in 1776.
John Adams famously predicted that July 2 would be celebrated as Independence Day.
However, the Declaration of Independence went through editing and revision for two more days, and it was formally adopted on July 4, 1776.
