James Madison’s last days were spent at his home, Montpelier, in his downstairs, his study turned bedroom. Why? He could no longer use the stairs. At 85, he was frail, weak, in poor health, slowing fading away. Poor as his health was, his mental faculties were strong.

John Adams 🇺🇸 and George HW Bush 🇺🇸 were the only Presidents whose sons (John Quincy Adams 🇺🇸 and George W Bush 🇺🇸) also became President.

Final manuscript submitted for my next book, "The Memory of '76: The Revolution in American History," which explores the history of how Americans have remembered & fought over the meaning & legacy of the AmRev for nearly 250 years. They tell me it will be available next spring.

[Mike Purdy @PresHistory]

I agree with Jefferson!!

[Lincoln Belongs To The Ages @Mr_Lincoln]

Today in 1832, men from New Salem, IL, having volunteered to serve in the militia during the Black Hawk War, meet and elect Lincoln the captain of their company. He states in his 1860 autobiography that this gave him more satisfaction than any other success.
