Adams and Jefferson died almost at the same hour on July 4, 1826; Monroe, just five years later. The coincidence is commented upon by the George Washington Bicenten- nial Commission, which recalls how :}llouly interwoven the lives of the ree were. Adams was instrumental in having the Continental Congress appoint Wash- ton as commander in chief of the Rev- oluticnary forces, later served as Wash- ington's Vice President and then was himself elevs&ed to the Presidency.
