Jefferson and his closest friend were both ardent Shakespeare fanatics. True, politics was always something they bickered about, but the greatest playwright of all time, William Shakespeare gave them an extensive topic to agree upon. Between their interest in drafting the Declaration of Independence and the eerie coincidence of them both dying on the fourth of July, the same year, the two Presidents had similar tastes in literature.
However, they soon struck up a bond that very few have been able to replicate. And that they did, what with Adams being called a eunuch and Jefferson’s lineage being insulted. Given that Adams preceded Thomas as the American President, most people would have expected them to have their share of squabbles. There’s probably not a single soul who doesn’t know about Thomas Jefferson’s friendship with John Adams.
