3 American Presidents died on July 4th:
John Adams, July 4, 1826
Thomas Jefferson, July 4, 1826
James Monroe, July 4, 1831
Both Adams and Jefferson died on July 4, 1826. The fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. As we all know, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration in committee with John Adams (and Benjamin Franklin).
John Adams's final words were (supposedly), "Thomas Jefferson survives." But he was wrong. Jefferson had died just hours earlier at Monticello.
Five years to the day after Adams and Jefferson died -- on July 4, 1831 -- the fifth President, James Monroe, passed away. So three presidents have died on the same date: July 4th.
Hey! Have you been with my guys on the Firearms Forum? LOL! That's where I get my information, especially the conservative point of view.
