July 4th And Presidential Deaths

I think, incredibly on July 4, 1826, the fiftieth anniversary of United States independence, (spare the firecrackers, which scare dogs. I add that I never had a dog and a sparkler I threw around age 10, went into a tree, with mercifully, no damage, but quite a lesson. Bottom line: Be Careful!), both the second and third presidents, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died.

Lesser known is the fact, fives became operative five years later when the fifth United States President James Monroe died on this date.

Many have speculated about this coincidence.

Maybe (perhaps coincidence?), would fit here.

The fifth U.S. President James Monroe, pictured above, eased to victory in both the 1816 and 1820 Presidential elections.
