When was the Declaration of Independence first signed?
The Declaration of Independence was adopted by the second continental congress on July 4th, 1776 (Independence Day). This agreement was based on working edited copies of Thomas Jefferson's work. On July 8th, 1776 in Independence Square, Colonel John Nixon read one such copy allowed to the public, so empowering those who heard it that they stormed the Pennsylvania State house, ripped down the king's coat of arms, and burned it. It wasn't until early August, 1776, after the final copy had been written, that it was actually signed by the delegates.

This is, of course, metaphorical. A shot is not literally going to be heard around the world, but it can set in motion events of global importance. When the American Colonies declared it was time for England to give America her independence. England was not going to do it without a fight. The American Revolutionary War, was the inspiration of other countries around the world, who wanted freedom and independence also. When the guns were fired that began the first battle of the American Revolutionary War, it became known by the expression for "The shot heard around the world."
