Author: This History Challenge is now closed. Check comments section below for the resource information.
This week’s prize is the book “Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence“
Both President John Adams and President Thomas Jefferson passed away on July 4th 1826. Which founding father had a dream in 1809 about the two (Jefferson and Adams) which he thought was very important and he wrote it down in a letter to John Adams basically saying that the two (Jefferson and Adams) would write to each other, that the letters would contain profound reflection, and that they would die at nearly the same time. Name the Founding Father who had this great dream and played an important role in our founding and also in reconciling the differences between Adams and Jefferson in their later years.
“….Many precious aphorisms [truths], the result of observation, experience, and profound reflection, it is said, are contained in these letters. It is to be hoped the world will be favored with a sight of them. . . . These gentlemen sunk into the grave nearly at the same time, full of years and rich in the gratitude and praises of their country.”
