Exploring American History: Jefferson versus Adams

Post by Rebecca Reid 1 Comment

I am fascinated by the John Adams and Thomas Jefferson dynamic. The fierce politics that ruptured their friendship and then their tender written correspondence in their later years simply catches my interest every time I revisit the issue. I love the fact, for example, that both men passed away on July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years after they had together joined in signing the Declaration of Independence. I love the fact that both men were right in their politics — even when both ways of going about running the country were so different.adams versus jefferson COVER

As I began creating products for my son’s American History year, I really wanted to share that fascinating dynamic with him too. But let me tell you, there are no books out there that bring early American politics down to an early elementary level! If I missed it and there is, please let me know!

I created Adams versus Jefferson as an early reader book for my son. I believe it shows how, despite political rivalry and so forth, friendship and common ground ultimately do triumph in the end. The story of Jefferson and Adams is a good example of how politics should be.

You can download this booklet (5.5 x 8.5, so print two per page or print it as a booklet so the pages will be in booklet order) for free when you sign up to become a Line upon Line Learning VIP.
