John Adams, 2nd President of the United States, died the same day as his political rival Thomas Jefferson on July 4, 1826. On one occasion Adams warned of the consequences of a potential Jefferson presidency in an attack ad: “Murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced, the air will be rent with the cries of the distressed, the soil will be soaked with blood and the nation black with crimes.” Adams' last words were "Thomas Jefferson still survives."
