The original name on the first written and printed version was "In Congress, July4, 1776 A DECLARATION by the REPRESENTATIVES of the United States of America in GENERAL CONGRESS ASSEMBLED" Then Congress ordered it engrossed and signed by the members of Congress. The engrossed version was titled: "IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America" The engrossed version used the lower case "united" by mistake and without Congressional approval.
