    The article highlights how towns across the colonies, particularly in Massachusetts, issued local 'declarations of independence' before July 4, 1776, influencing the Continental Congress. Pauline Maier's research reveals over 58 such declarations, with most towns supporting independence and only Barnstable opposing it.
