None were captured, but the British would have executed any or all of them had they been caught.

Correction... Three signers were taken prisoner.

Three of the four signers from South Carolina – Thomas Heyward. Arthur Middleton, and Edward Rutledge – were taken prisoner by the British and imprisoned for ten months.

Every single one of those signers of the Declaration of Independence were supreme patriots for this new country waiting to be born. They could have been killed for such an action in many countries today.

They would have been hung by England in their own time, if only the Crown had gotten its hands on them.
