At almost midnight on July 1, 1776, Caesar Rodney was informed that he was needed in Congress regarding Delaware's tied vote of independence. Rodney rode 80 miles horseback to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania without delay and on July 2, 1776, Rodney casted his crucial vote that paved the way for the passage of the Declaration of Independence.
