John Adams And Thomas Jefferson Died On The Same Day In 1826
What a way to go out
The 4th of July is tomorrow. A good number of Americans will celebrate in various ways.
For some, they’ll have a cookout and PARTY at their place. Others will just chill and relax (like me). And others just want to see the fireworks(I also want to do that as well).
While everyone will (or maybe not) celebrate the 4th of July, 196 years ago in 1826 would be the last day on earth for two former presidents in John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The two men had dedicated most of their lives to serving America through various positions including both being presidents of the United States.
John Adams was president from March 4, 1797 — March 4, 1801. While Thomas Jefferson had two terms as president from March 4, 1801 — March 4, 1809. Adams was from Massachusetts and Jefferson was from Virginia. The two had a long friendship that begin in 1775, despite having different political views, thanks to the deep mutual respect they had for one another.
