As the series is winding down, I'm enjoying this last episode a lot. Like the last episode, it's slow in spots, but still enlightening.
Breast cancer in Revolutionary times :eek:
54 years of marriage?! How many people from that time period could make such a claim?
The exchange between Jefferson and Adams near the end of their lives was interesting too.
John Adams seeing the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence?! I hadn't realized that he lived that long or was that young at the point of his participation in the revolution.
Nice dig at the historical inaccuracies that shined through objects such as the painting of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Considering that most people have no idea of how things truly went, and instead have assumptions passed down from seeing paintings such as the one shown to Adams, it was interesting to get a few words on how wrong that painting was.
