John Adams belonged to the small unique group of people who founded the United States. We call them our Founding Fathers. As a child he had wanted to become a farmer, but God led him on a different path: he rose to become our second president. But no matter how important he became, he was always happy with his family: his wife, Abigail Adams - the love of his life, his best friend and closest adviser - their children, and grandchildren. Adams was a great believer in our God-given rights, in liberty, and in limited government. He was also a lifelong friend of Thomas Jefferson. The two giants died on the same day, after a long life full of achievements. And it wasn't just any day; it was the 4th of July, 1826, exactly fifty years after the founding of the United States.
