There are several popular myths concerning the Declaration of Independence.

A misconception about the Declaration of Independence is that it was the original document by which the Colonies articulated their rejection of British rule.

In fact, the Lee Resolution had already declared independence on July 2. Because the Declaration of Independence is dated July 4, 1776 (the date of its approval and adoption by the Continental Congress), many people believe it was signed on that date—in fact, most of the delegates signed the Declaration on August 2, 1776.

While the July 4 Declaration differed from the Lee Resolution in that it asserted unanimity, the abstaining Province of New York did not pass its own vote for independence until July 9.

A story repeated on National Public Radio during the annual reading of the Declaration on the Morning Edition program was that King George III's diary entry for July 4, 1776, read: "Nothing of importance happened today". In fact, George III never kept a diary. The error was corrected in 2006. 

Contrary to popular belief, the Declaration was not signed in public as a group. The delegates actually signed it in secret, little by little.
