John Adams' & Thomas Jefferson's Death | July 4th, 1826 | HBO Max - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
One of the most bizarre coincidences of all time: Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the same day, on July 4, 1826, the 50th birthday of the country.
And then you have James Monroe die exactly 5 years later. It’s actually kind of crazy to think about, especially since Monroe worked with Jefferson.
@@howardbaxter2514 and considering they were 3/4 of the presidents to die
Didn’t Adams and Jefferson also place a bet who would die first? Or perhaps maybe I misread/misinterpreted something. Maybe even read pseudo history. If not I find it extremely fascinating.
Adams son was the president at that time. It’s more bizarre than you think. The founders & their wives have matching birth and death dates. For example, John Adams and Martha Jefferson had the same birthday. October 30. And Jefferson was Vice President to Adams. His wife Abigail Adams birthday and death date matches Doris Dukes. November 22 -(JFK) October 28. (Gate’s birthday) - Heavily invested in Duke U…
@@howardbaxter2514 Not to mention, James Madison came up just six days short, five years after Monroe died. June 28th, 1836, just six days shy of the 60th anniversary of the declaration being signed
John Adams: Thomas Jeffersons survives.
Thomas Jefferson's Ghost: Wrong again, John!
Thomas jeffersons ghost: WRONG THE THIRD TIME, JAMES MADISON

@@thehunterxxnine1346*james Madison has joined*
Respect to this show for not glamorizing or romanticizing old age. Thomas and John were both extremely sick and miserable when they died, and Giamatti and Dillane portray it very well. They did not die gracefully or peacefully, but with violence and coughing and basically rotting away in their beds.
Washington too. But, as Patton said (I'm paraphrasing), "let us not mourn that such men are dead, rather we should thank God that such men lived".....
At least nowadays we have proper palliative care and painkillers.
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 Death is never pretty, but death in the 18th and 19th centuries sure weren't picnics.
One aspect of this mini series that you do not see very often is aging. Towards the end, the main characters had black and rotting teeth. Not pretty - but appropriate. Actors in historical movies etc are too “pretty”.
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 But those painkillers will become addicted and will die addicted will die addicted prostitutes that save the country. That’s what my doctor said
Remember when politicians would disagree with each other but also respect each other? Good times.
Respect? Jefferson called Adams a hermaphrodite during his presidential campaign while Adams claimed that Jefferson is quite literally dead and thus unable to run :D
Jefferson? Respecting his opponents? Ok bro 😂
remember it like it yesterday bro
My guy Jefferson and Adam’s hated each other for decades
The timing of Adams and Jefferson's death was so thematically perfect you would think it was made up for the mini-series
One of the most poetic coincidences in our nation’s history is the death of the two men both on July 4th who introduced partisanship and the peaceful transition of power between political rivals
It was no coincidence
I wonder if one or even both of them thought "Wow, exactly 50 years to the day" if they knew their lives were over.
@@bowlchamps37 Pretty sure they both did
I knew these two just recently read James Monroe also died in July 4 (1831)
James Madison tried to hang on but died a week short, June 28th, ten years later. Nice attempt nonetheless
I can almost imagine Adams going to heaven and shouting "Hey, what are you doing here? Now my last words will forever be known as irony!"
And then they laughed
Adams can't catch a break. Jefferson's last act on Earth is to die a few hours before Adams just to gig him one last time by making his last words wrong.
and the argument begins anew lol
There is no heaven you don’t go anywhere when you die your consciousness just vanishes and all that’s left is your corpse and empty husk that will eventually rot and become a part of the earth such is the circle of life (ps I’m not bashing religion that’s just my belief so take that as you will)
@@Cody-ps3wyWell, guess we’ll all find out one day now won’t we.
Watched this a few years back and instantly became a huge admirer of John Adams. What a great man and amazing life he lived.
He was kind of a bad president
@@footballdays5548 He was pretty great with foreign policy. Domestically, the Alien and Sedition Acts are what he will be remembered for. His work as a founder outranks his work as a president though.
@@rock4ever302 yup he saved this nation from a war with France that would’ve totally destroyed and fractured us
The only bad thing he did in his life was disown his son, but it was because his son was a drunk loonie (btw I'm talking about Charles Adams, not John Quincy Adams)
@@Snubalo his son was a wreck, despised his father and gave up on his own wife and kids. Sometimes enabling your family does worse than not. It still hurt Adam's, but he made a wise decision in the hopes of changing his son's life for the better. I think Charles was always an "outsider" to the rest of the family and bound to a different more destructive path.
John Adams’s final words:
“Thomas Jefferson survives.”
Unbeknownst to him, Jefferson actually died just a few hours before Adams did! 😳
Maybe that’s because Thomas Jefferson was standing there greeting him.
@@pendragonshall
Sure! 😂 We’ll just go with that!
Then they both pop in front of St Peter like "Dafuq?!?"
@@michaelt3779 LOL I don't think they'd say that but that's funny
Hopefully Jefferson is in 🔥
These two men were so intertwined in a pivotal moment in history and over their lives. It's beyond fascination. While the events didn't happen exactly as HBO's portrayal, here, the sequence did occur as portrayed. Adams' last words were "Thomas Jefferson survives" but Thomas Jefferson had died 4 to 7 hours before. Adams also said his wife's name and was in-and-out of hallucinations on his death bed. I personally believe that Jefferson, having died, welcomed Adams in his passing. Thus, Adams' statement was accurate and correct.
Beautiful
I believe that too.
That Thomas and Abigail were right there, waiting for him. Arms outstretched. ❤
RIP John Adams (October 30, 1735 - July 4, 1826), aged 90
And
RIP Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 - July 4, 1826), aged 83
You both will be remembered as legends.
To live past 80 in those times was rare.
@@paulboegel8009 Not so rare for non laborers, the life expectancy was greatly lowered due to women dying in childbirth and men dying from work related illnesses. Look at Kings of earlier centuries in Europe, unless they died by the sword they lived pretty long
@@TheImapotato
The average life expectancy was about 47 years.
@@paulboegel8009 I just explained why
@@TheImapotato
Infant mortality was the leading cause of the average age of life expectancy to be lower.
Rich people died young in the 18th and 19th centuries. Good genes had a lot more to do with it , since medicine in those days was almost non-existent. A bacterial infection was pretty much a death sentence .
Incredible series. Absolutely incredible. This entire series has awoken a true history nerd inside me.
Agreed SAME
This and band of brothers.
... generation kill.
Agree a fascinating mini series. It made me appreciate my Boston/Cambridge roots so much more.
What’s the name of it?
And my comment was just like yours!
The lesson of Jefferson and Adams is something people need to be reminded of today with our Politics. Despite our differences and despite what we think we can still be friends and friendships can always be fixed as these two men did.
Not anymore....
Only a democrat or RINO could think so......we're well beyond the pattycake crap of yesterday.
@@johnnyrotten6191 then you’re buying into the lies pushed by MSM. Yeah maybe the chronically online, politicians, and the media sheep hate each other but out in the real world people want to get along.
@@johnnyrotten6191 Compromise is the foundation of our Democracy. Anything else just leads to anarchy and ultimate failure.
@@johnnyrotten6191George Washington was right about political parties, you Republican cringe
I quite agree.
As a Brit, I loved this miniseries. If only for the start, how everyone is a UK colonist, and by the end you see a bunch of founding fathers try to help kickstart a fledgling nation from 13 colonies. Amazing stuff
I agree! And I am a naturalized citizen who was born in Havana,Cuba in 1956 and came here as a 2 month old baby with my parents on August 2, 1956.
So you have praise for traitors? Interesting.
@@Ao-pj1mc that made me laugh. TBH, these traitors did pretty well without us and out bumbling German regency
Small correction - about a third of the population was from Africa. So not everyone.
@@chriswatson7965 excellent point. Certainly Jefferson liked that third of the population. For various reasons
As kids we all worshipped Jefferson. As men we all relate and appreciate John Adam’s
Because that’s man we found out that this guy was a complete other fraud, a hypocrite he knew slavery was a moral sin, and always against it, but he owned slaves. He also took out a piece that would have a abolish slavery in the declaration of independence so as men, we understand a man who was nothing more than just BS.
Nah
@@WestlehSeyweld You’ll grow up eventually
@@alessiodelcastillo1613I relate to Jefferson more. Your opinion seems entirely based on an HBO series rather than through actual study of the men.
Nah. I've ALWAYS admired Adams between the 2, and it's not even close.
I wish I could go back in time and meet our forefathers. It would be amazing.
Britain is a lovable nato but not russia china india or many country history or uncommon
They would show how proud they are defeating Indians and making money with slaves
I don´t think so: no antibiotics, no blood tests, no treatments, no X-ray, no MRI, no painkillers, no hygiene.
@@johannessanmiguel It would be a brief visit then I'd come back.
They probably wouldn't talk to you since you were not among the gentry. Of course if you graduated undergrad probably better educated than any of them
Wow the odds of both men dying on that day is eye opening.
Especially since they help facilitate the meaning of that date
I feel like they were both holding onto life just to see the 4th one last time.
I loved visiting Jefferson’s home in Charlottesville. Upstairs was a bedroom that was specifically for John when he visited if I remember correctly. The view from that mountain is breathtaking. I have to say it woke something up in me that I’d never felt. A sense of patriotism. I then became a history buff. I was 55.
… I watched this scene once before… To my surprise, no death scene has ever brought me closer to crying than this one. I’ve seen many death scenes, but for some reason I found this one the most emotional.
Two great friends dying on the same day is a freaky coincidence in US History. Both becoming friends when serving in the Continental Congress and when they were in Europe, rivals when they found themselves working in two different parties and friends again after Jefferson concluded his presidency.
Little Known Fact: Adams and Jefferson died on John Quincy’s son John II’s birthday. Other examples are his daughter Louisa dying at one year old on his brother Thomas’s 40th and even shares a birthday with his stillborn sister, Elizabeth.
John Adams: What are you doing here?
Thomas Jefferson: no, you, what are YOU doing here?
It really gets me that he thinks his grandson is John Quincy and he reaches for his hand saying, “help me child… help me child.” I cannot imagine how much that would stick to his memory. The once great and loud mouthed president reduced to a delusional and hallucinatory old man reaching for his hand.
John Quincy was the guy holding his hand? but yet looks young, yet he died in the 1840s at age 80 i think? if he looks young here how could he have been 80 in the 1840s?
No, that was his other son John Quincy Adams was the current president of the United States, and I believe that he couldn’t make it to his fathers house at the time of his funeral and his death and I believe it definitely hurt him because well remember this was the early 1800s and it would’ve taken a long time to go from DC to Massachusetts and I’m pretty sure he didn’t even get the news until like a couple weeks later
Both actors did a GREAT job portraying Adam's and Jefferson!
I wasn't born in the 1820s but I'm sure this death sent shockwaves to everyone. Adams and Jefferson gave us America and their spirits still remain forever

@@aprilleerose Follow God and Jesus, he will show you the way.
Unfortunately the democrats despise the founding fathers and the foundation of what the USA represents.
A tear struck down my eye when it was Jefferson ‘s death. He was my favourite president and he always will be
Of the first twelve presidents, Adams (and his son) were the only two who never owned slaves. Adams, along with Hamilton was one of only two of the core Founding Fathers who never owned slaves.
Yup the Adams were notorious for being among the earliest supporters of abolitionism, condemning the practice of slavery and Quincy’s involvement in the Amistad case
Monroe later freed his slaves and moved to New York City during the last few years of his life.
To Jefferson and Washington's credit they wanted to free them but were prohibited by law. Jefferson inherited his and worked to abolish slavery even ending the Atlantic Slave Trade. Washington paid his slaves and set up retirement for them on his farm.
I don’t think Ben Franklin did either.
@@NotMyWar Franklin actually owned 2 slaves, George and King. They worked as his personal slaves. He also ran ads in his newspaper for the sale of slaves and contracts for indentured laborers. It wasn't until 1763 that his attitudes towards Africans began to change (he grew up believing Africans were inferior to whites in almost every way) - when he visited a school where young African children were taught. His hatred of the British (who he saw as wanting to "enslave" the American colonies) also made him think about his attitude towards slavery in general.
It's nice that Ken Burns brought Paul back to play Adams in his Ben Franklin miniseries.😊😊
Rare for people to live that long back then.
Certainly was rare, considering all the diseases
Actually people could live long back then. The only reason why the average lifespan was shorter was because so many people died as children.
as a man from england i have great respect for these men they did what was right and did some thing good
It’s sad that you have so many people today who hate these two men, even Adams because they are the “epitome of the status quo”. It’s ingratitude to think that way because unlike our politicians today, guys like Adams actually consider governing to be a stressful chore rather than a power addiction.

Not alot of point in hating historical figures. You'd do as well to hate the villains at a wrestling show. I don't take people like that seriously and neither should anyone else.
As for "ingratitude", welcome to humanity. Dogs are grateful, human beings mercenary.

Thomas Jefferson: "Not anymore".
I'll always remember and honor these men no matter what. I don't give a damn if I'm the last American standing to do it. I'm grateful for what they created. 🇺🇸
So let me guess you probably stand with Adolf Hitler no to rape you do realize this man owned slaves and old women and children right I mean you do realize that now let me tell you how stupid you really sound. This man said slavery was a moral sin, and it need to be abolished. I turned around as one of the mole, vicious slaveowners. He cheated on his wife what a slave, and refused to free his slaves. He wrote the Declaration of Independence from Thomas Paine‘s book common sense and took out a very piece of the Declaration of Independence. That would have ultimately abolish slavery now, why do you are the man and grateful for a man that could have ended slavery could have in the tournament in torture for millions of people, but chose not to you probably love Adolf Hitler to you. Democrats are all the same.
John Quincy Adams Watching His Dad
My take on his dying words is since Jefferson was a fair deal younger Adams assumed he would outlive him.
I assumed also it was their competitive streak against each other
It's the other way around. Ben Franklin is the older one, by 29 years.

More than just a TV series, the book John Adams, written by David McCullough, was one of two he wrote that won the Pulitzer Prize. The other was 1776. He will always be remembered as a writer whose histories were not only accurate, but they were as engaging as any novel.

They both died 195 years ago.
That's like 2 full lifetimes ago, it's crazy how close it is yet so distant.
More realistically If people have children in their early 30s that's 6 generation ago. Imagine your grandfather's grand-grandfather lived at the same time than those man.
It was so long ago, yet it was just yesterday when you compare it to the time of Julius Caesar.

John Adams: “Thomas Jefferson survives”
Thomas Jefferson hours before: NUH UH
These two men were simply amazing. Their passion for their ideals shaped the modern world, and they showed that two men completely different ideological could respect one another and be dear friends
The way Jefferson is portrayed in the film, I didn't see much "respect" for Adams. In real life, who knows? What is portrayed in the film is that Jefferson was quite brutal to Adams back in the day. Smooth... but brutal. Adams never could seem to understand why. Jefferson was cerebral, and clearly liked a good argument. Adams could give a good one back.
Still one of the craziest things in history that they both died on the same day and it was July 4.
And exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.
Here lies John Adams, who wholeheartedly kept our new nation at peace with France in the year 1800. Rest In Peace

Greatest Americans if he was so great when he abolish slavery, I mean George Washington, didn’t do it Thomas Jefferson didn’t do it if any two men in the entire existence of the world could have ended slavery single-handedly without the approval of Congress. It would’ve been Thomas Jefferson or George Washington. Bolton stood up and said that slavery was a moral sin, and that it should’ve been abolished chose to own slaves, and refused to freedom, even though they were for abolishing slavery, even though they knew how how long it was even though they knew then atrocities these men faced.

I almost cried at the end
I always wondered if they were aware that they were both dying or if they didn't know that the other one was dying too
No, they would not have. Nothing, including mail, moved faster than a horse could travel in a day. Adams died in Quincy just outside of Boston and Jefferson died at Monticello in Shadwell, just outside Charlottesville, Va. It took up to three weeks just to travel from Boston to Philadelphia. It would presumably take another ten to fourteen days to travel to Charlottesville, so neither family would have learned of the other man’s death for about six weeks, at the earliest.
@@inkyguy I think they meant were they aware they were both dying before then. I'd say no though. While they were friends again at this point, I don't think this ever would have been a topic they talked about.

It may only have meant that, aside from the provisions made for Sally and her immediate family, that they knew the rest of the chattel slaves would be sold to pay off Jefferson's (& Monticello's) debts. Jefferson, though wealthy and exceptionally intelligent, never bothered to BALANCE his financial books and died entailled and insolvent.

Jefferson did try to abolish slavery during the founding and as president ended the Atlantic Slave Trade. He never wanted his slaves but inherited them and would have freed them if not for state law.
@@Nathreim1 true. Plus to be honest I’m still not entirely knowledgeable on the circumstances with Jefferson and sally hemmings, and their relationship
I was 3 when they died.
Amazing series
I love this series.
during the time at-least these 2 former presidents had people experience their last breath, words and seeing them go
3
@@milad2615 im not talking about the 3rd one as the 3rd, im referring these 2 as the 2 well known ones after washington
Very possibly some of the dudes who did the most good for humanity out of all people throughout history. How anyone can be a student of history and not simultaneously stand in awe before the Bill of Rights to me is unfathomable. There is nothing more precious, fleeting, and fragile than freedom, and I can think of few men who did more to ensure its health than these two. Bravo I say.
Both said "In 98 years, Jimmy Carter will be born".
How you record that when 1800s have no internet
It's a TV Show.
I know i am a different account. Mine comment about that was stupid...
The person talking to him is Quincy btw
No it actually isn’t. It’s his middle son Thomas Adam’s. I cannot speak for the rest of the Adam’s family (pardon the pun) but this definitely isn’t from the series John Quincy or Charles who does earlier . All I know from historical context is John Quincy was a well respected diplomat . If any other TH-camr would like to take over with more historical context I know many would benefit! ☺️
@@JackGreggs ohhh if Quincy knew Jefferson died and told adams adams would of been ded
@@JackGreggs I only know Quincy well
JQA was President at the time, and was in Washington DC. So not at his father's deathbed.
@@ArtifactualScholar Yup. I believe JQA only learned about his fathers death a week or so later
great series
