Yes, I've chosen him before, but I learned something new. I did not know he was a fourth generation American. Wow. His ancestors came to America for freedom of religion. Henry Adams, his father's side, fled King Charles and the religious persecution and John Alden, his mother's side, was on the May-flower.
From birth to death, John Adams was a true Son of Liberty. He was in his 92nd year when he passed away on the 4th of July around the same time Thomas Jefferson also passed away. It was the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
