2. John Hancock and His Signature. His signature has become synonymous with patriotism and defiance in the face of tyranny. The signatures on the Declaration, especially that of John Hancock, became icons of patriotism. The signing of the document became just as significant as Congress’s votes to approve the measure. The dramatic stroke of Hancock’s pen still resonates to this day despite its faded presence on the Declaration of Independence.
