John Adams' last words are widely believed to be "Thomas Jefferson survives," reflecting his long-standing relationship with Jefferson, who had passed away just hours earlier. This statement is not considered controversial, and there is no credible evidence suggesting it was fabricated or related to any supernatural experiences. Adams and Jefferson, both key figures in American history and long-term political rivals, eventually reconciled and shared a mutual desire to live until the Fourth of July, the anniversary of the nation they helped establish. The communication methods of their time meant that Adams was unaware of Jefferson's death at the moment he spoke.
