Their relationship was complex: they were initially close collaborators, then bitter political enemies, and finally reconciled friends through correspondence in their later years. Their deaths on the same day – the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which they both helped create – was seen by the nation as a divine sign affirming the American experiment. As the story goes, the famous last words attributed to John Adams on July 4, 1826 (the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence) were: “Thomas Jefferson survives.” The profound historical irony was that Jefferson actually died first. Thomas Jefferson died several hours earlier that same day at Monticello on July 4th – the day of American Independence.
