Who fought in the Revolutionary war against the British and opposed the Declaration of Independence?
John Dickinson, a delegate from Pennsylvania would not vote for or sign the Declaration of Independence. This is because he felt that the colonies would be better if they reconciled their grievances with Great Britain instead of declaring independence from it. Whether he fought in the Revolutionary War is not entirely clear. Some histories state he enlisted as a private and fought at the Battle of Brandywine. Others state he served briefly as a Colonel. And another has said that Thomas McKean, the governor of Delaware, also one of the signers of the Declaration appointed Dickinson as a Brigadier General. In either event his service, if any was short.
When the us declaration of independence was signed?
Although it was announced on July 4, 1776, the Declaration was first signed on August 2, 1776, with the last signature being added in late November. There is no single, perfect date for the adoption of the Declaration. The completed Declaration was accepted on July 2 and some delegates believed that would become an important day in history. On July 4, 1776, a scheduled meeting to discuss the Declaration was cut short and delegates agreed to the wording in principle before adjourning (some say the adjournment was due to nasty horseflies invading the hall). On July 8, it was published as a broadside (at first with only John Hancock's signature). By August, it was published again with most of the signatures. There is no one official version of the Declaration of Independence. Three slightly different versions were approved. The famous painting of the delegates all standing or seated in Independence Hall, waiting to sign the document, is pure fiction. There was never a time when all the signers were together in one place at one time. August 2, 1776
