I am in my mid-70s now and have time to indulge my interest in history. Your summary of Adams and Jefferson is good. I find the more I learn of the founders I realize they also were flawed, but gifted, human beings who helped create the only country on the globe born of a revolution which then wrote a Constitution that has survived(with amendments) since it was written. Most countries have gone through various eruptions of violence and constitutional rewrites and scrapping.

I worry that our young are not being taught any of this.
