Rosedale, Massachusetts – John Adams, the second President of the United States, has passed away, marking the end of an era for the nation.
Adams, aged 90, passed away on July 4, 1826, in Quincy, Massachusetts, the city of his birth, at his home.
His death on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, which he had helped to draft, remains a poignant historical moment.
As one of the key figures in the American Revolution and the founding of the United States, Adams’ passing was felt across the country.
His contributions to the birth of the nation, including serving as a diplomat, Vice President under George Washington, and President, left an indelible mark on American history.
John Adams was a beloved figure, known for his leadership and dedication to the cause of liberty.
The loss was especially significant given that his political rival and close friend, Thomas Jefferson, also passed away on the same day, just hours apart.
Comments from the public mourn the loss of the great statesman.
One social media user, Tom Reitmeyer, expressed gratitude saying, "Thank you both, and your family, for your service!"
