As you may have been taught in school that the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th 1776 but that is not true. On July 4th 1776 Congress officially adopted the Declaration of Independence a month later most of the delegates signed on august 2nd but several others including Oliver Wolcott, Lewis Morris, Thomas Mckean and others signed on a even later date! The holiday was celebrated July 4th so people assumed that July 4th was when it was officially signed. The confusion made it so it was taught in school's. (This was my first post hope you enjoyed!)

I Was The First Mockingjay (Finnick Odair)
Before Katniss there was me. Before The Girl on Fire there was The Girl Alive. Before the District 12 volunteer there was a stupid little tribute from 10.Before the 74th Hunger Games there was the 69th. My Hunger Games.My name is Aria Moulson and I won the 69th Hunger Games 6 years ago. I was the first Mockingjay. Trust me I never wanted to be. I never wanted to start a rebellion I just wanted to get in and out. But, the people of Panem had a different idea. They saw me as the light in the darkness. They saw me as their way out of President Snow's wrath. They saw me as their Mockingjay. Why they saw me as the Mockingjay? It was because I was the first tribute to ever speak out about the Capitol's tyranny. A moment of weakness in the games and it cost me a lifetime of pain and suffering. But now I'm going back for the 3rd Quarter Quell and this time, I'm taking the Capitol down with me. I'll give them a show. I'll give the people something to fight for.Complete
