As we mark another peaceful transfer of presidential power in America – and after an ugly, rancorous political campaign season – it’s worth looking back at perhaps the greatest story of political and personal reconciliation in our history. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson: allies, then friends, then rivals, then political enemies, and then friends again in the closing days of their lives. Let’s take a moment and look at how this lifelong connection grew, went sour, and was rekindled, demonstrating then and now that so long as the “American Mind” is alive, people of different opinions can come together for the common and personal good.
