Did Thomas Jefferson and John Adams become enemies and then friends again?

Yes, sort of. Jefferson and Adams were friends, but they had different ideas about how the government should be run and whether the states or federal government should have more power. They became enemies when they were both active in politics.

In 1796, Adams was elected President and Jefferson was elected Vice-President, even though they belonged to different political parties. In 1800, Jefferson was elected President and Adams was badly defeated. Adams tried to pack the Judicial Branch (courts) with judges who thought the same way he did. Jefferson got angry.

Later, when they had both retired from politics, they began writing letters to each other and worked things out. Both men died on the same day, July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years after they signed the Declaration of Independence.
