Founding Brothers
Okay, so for my history project I have to write a precis of one of the chapters. I happen to be writing one over chapter six which is over the friendship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
Can anyone summarize this chapter for me or find a site that does? I would prefer that it wasn't the half-way done summary from bookrags.
Here's what I have so far:
• After presidency, Adams traveled 500 miles back to his Quincy barnyard to discover trouble and vengeance awaiting his presence at the front door.
• Hated Hamilton and Jefferson.
• In 1804, Adam’s youngest daughter, Maria Jefferson Eppes, died from childbirth.
• Abigail confided in Jefferson and he took her words as an invitation to become friends once again with the Adams family despite them being a clear warning.
• In a controlled anger response to the returning letter, she stated that if anyone needed forgiveness it would be Jefferson himself.
• During the election of 1800, there were the worst of all the offenses.
• During the revolution of the tongues, Abigail concluded the bitterness with a quote from the Bible: “Faithful are the wounds of a Friend”, meaning that she meant no harm, but only to help Jefferson. Jefferson reacted to this is a bad manner, so they needed to forgive him for what HE did.
Thank you so much in advance!
(By the way I love the idea of this site. XD Thank you!)

Actually I'm not asking you to do it for me because I have to write a precis, not a summary. All I needed was a general cut-down version so that I could comprehend at least half of what was occuring in this dull book.
Thanks for your help, but I already found it on my own.

Yup. Math is most definitely my worst subject, but I think I'd do your Algebra class any day over my Pre-Cal. :] Wanna trade?
