Bitter Sweet Friendship- John Adams

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson had a great relationship in the beginning while they worked on treaties and met with dignitaries from other countries to get support from them. When they returned to America. Their friendship started to sour and they lost contact for a while when John was Vice President. Later on Jefferson and Adams were able to reconcile and create amazing correspondence in letters to each other. They wrote about many topics over the years from war to family affairs. Ironically they both died on the same day July 4, 1826 and Adams last words were "Thomas Jefferson still survives".
