Description
[U.S. PRESIDENTS]. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson Jugate Ribbon. 1826. Original silk ribbon commemorating former Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, both of whom died fifty years to the day after the unanimous adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Second Continental Congress. The dedication below reads, “Together they labored for our Country, together they have gone to meet their reward.” 6 ½ x 2 ½”. Old stains, light fraying at edges. Though the two began as friends (with Adams supposedly drafting Jefferson to pen the Declaration of Independence), their relationship began to deteriorate while serving as Vice President and Secretary of State, respectively, under George Washington. Following the bitter campaign of 1800 the two did not speak for twelve years. Their correspondence lasted until their deaths fourteen years later, on 4 July 1826.
