What really happened to the signers of the Declaration of Independence?

An essay about the fate of the founders of our nations has circulated for decades. But what part of that is true, and what part isn't? Why do we celebrate the signing of the Declaration on July 4th when the signers didn't start signing it until August 2nd? Hmm...let's dive into some interesting history. 

Happy birthday America!!!
