Detailed explanation-1: -John Adams died on July 4, 1826 – the fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence – hours after Jefferson’s death. Adams and his son are the only presidents of the first twelve who never owned slaves. Surveys of historians and scholars have favorably ranked his administration.
Detailed explanation-2: -John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day, July 4, 1826. Both were old men-Adams was 90, and Jefferson was 83-and both were ill, though Adams had been in comparatively robust health until just a few months earlier and Jefferson had been ill for an extended period.
Detailed explanation-3: -On July 4, 1826, as the nation celebrated the 50th anniversary of its independence, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died.
Detailed explanation-4: -Local and national newspapers were also quick to report after Monroe’s death that they thought his July 4 passing was a “remarkable” coincidence, at the least, since Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had both also died on July 4, 1826 – the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Detailed explanation-5: -James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States, also died on July 4-in 1831.
