Mystery Man at Signing of Declaration of Independence


There is an interesting story in regards to the American Declaration of Independence that is rarely talked about. The story goes as follows:

It was on July 4, 1776 in the State House at Philadelphia that many of the founders of America sat debating whether or not to sign the Declaration of Independence. They were enclosed in a room with the lower chamber doors locked and a guard posted. They knew they faced the death penalty for high treason as they were about to sever the last tie between the old country and the new.

Suddenly a voice rang from the balcony with the closing words, “God has given America to be free!” With that the American patriots rushed over and one by one signed their names on the Declaration of Independence. Afterwards they went to go express their gratitude towards the speaker but he was not there. To this day nobody knows how he entered the locked and guarded room or who he was.
