There is no definitive evidence to prove that these were indeed John Adams' last words. The quote was first recorded by Adams' grandson, who was not present at the time of his death. Additionally, there are conflicting accounts from other witnesses about what Adams' last words actually were.
According to some accounts, John Adams' last words were spoken in response to a question about whether he wanted to see Thomas Jefferson before he passed away. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.
Yes, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were political rivals and had a complicated relationship. However, they reconciled in their later years and exchanged letters until their deaths on the same day, July 4th, 1826.
No, there is no evidence to support this claim. It is more likely that the quote was a reflection of Adams' thoughts on his own mortality and the passing of his fellow Founding Father.
The quote gained popularity due to a letter written by Daniel Webster in 1826, which was widely circulated and quoted. However, as mentioned earlier, there is no solid evidence to support this claim and it is likely that the quote was simply a misinterpretation or embellishment of Adams' actual last words.
