Do you know which state did not originally vote to pass the Declaration of Independence? (1 Viewer)

New York was the only state to abstain when voting to pass the Declaration of Independence. They abstained because of how slow communications were. They were waiting for orders from New York, which didn’t come in time for the initial vote.

New York waited for order from New York?

The delegates from New York waited for orders from the government in New York. The vote for independence wasn’t held in New York so there was a delay.
