Today, America celebrates its 250th birthday. 200 years ago, America celebrated its Jubilee. On the occasion of America's 50th, three signatories to The Declaration of Independence still lived. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson famously both died on July 4, leaving Charles Carroll as the last living signatory. Carroll would live on until 1832. In my new article, I collected some quotes and stories about Adams, Jefferson, and Carroll related to the American Jubilee.
