Why did Jefferson and Adams have issues as friends?
They had issues for a number of reasons. First, they had opposing political beliefs about the role and nature of government. Adams was for a strong central government. Jefferson was for a weaker one that left more governmental power to the individual states. Adams believed government should be left to the care of wiser men than the general public. Jefferson believed government by the general public was exactly what the revolution was all about in the first place. They came to be leaders of the two different political parties, Federalist and Republican, that sprang up among the citizens and politicians of the time. This led to opposing political factions forming, each wanting the other out of the way and each looking to Adams or Jefferson to lead them. They both let these political differences become personal dislikes. This was because they began to see each other as turning his back on the ideals that led to the new country in the first place. Another issue that arose was that Jefferson, along with James Madison, was working behind Adams' back to unseat Adams as president, even though Jefferson was Adams's Vice-president. Jefferson had written a letter to a friend of his that was critical of Adams's political views. The letter somehow became public to the embarassment of Adams. Adams was so angry he refused to speak to Jefferson for many years. Even Abigail Adams was furious with Jefferson and wrote him telling him that he was two-faced. Jefferson's behind the scenes actions against Adams were successful, and Jefferson beat Adams in the next presidential election after Adams had served only one term. Adams left office without staying to see Jefferson sworn in. John Adams was a difficult man to get along with. He even disliked his staunchest fellow Federalist, Alexander Hamilton. It is was no surprise that Adams and Jefferson eventually had their falling out, since Adams was hardly liked by anyone around him, except Abigail. In fact, while Adams was president, he relied more on her than on his own cabinet members for advice. The surprising thing was that the two managed to reconcile their friendship later on.

Did the US like Thomas Jefferson's dicisions?
They loved them, and they loved Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was adept at the campaign rhetoric we know so well today - you're brilliant, the masses are wiser than you think, the country is great. He was a perpetual optimist and believed in the people, but he was also very, very good at telling people what they wanted to hear. But yes, they loved the Jefferson presidency for the most part.

Did paul revere write the declaration of independence?
No. The Continental Congress appointed a committee of five-John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert Livingston-to turn a resolution into a declaration of independence. Adams took charge and promptly assigned Jefferson to write a draft. It was then modified some by Adams and Franklin, and by the Continental Congress who made 86 changes, much to Jefferson's chagrin. Paul Revere is well known because the famout poet Longfellow wrote about him years latter. There was actually many men who were ridding about that night telling and warning the American people of the danger, but these heros did not have that kind of luck to be written about years latter by a famout poet.

Why did the confederate general Pemberton eventually surrender?
Because Grant starved him out at Vicksburg. Pemberton had had to cope with conflicting orders - his area commander Joe Johnston telling him to evacuate the place and save his army, and his President Jefferson Davis telling him to hold the place at any cost. He tried to do a bit of both, and came to grief.
