| | | "On the Fourth of July, 1826, America celebrated its Jubilee the
Fiftieth Anniversary of Independence. John Adams, second President of the
United States, died that day, aged ninety, while from Maine to Georgia
bells rang and cannon boomed. And on that sameday, Thomas Jefferson died
before sunset in Virginia. In their dying, in that swift, so aptly
celebrated double departure, is something which shakes an American to the
heart. It was not their great fame, their long lives or even the record of
their work that made these two seem indestructible. It was their faith,
their bounding, unquenchable faith in the future, their sure, immortal
belief that mankind, if it so desired, could be free." | | | Found in the topic Freedom.
