John Adams och Thomas Jefferson inledde tidig vänskap i Philadelphia 1775

John Adams och Thomas Jefferson träffades för första gången i Philadelphia i juni 1775 mitt under de tilltagande spänningarna med Storbritannien. Deras inledande kontakter lade grunden för ett partnerskap som skulle komma att forma den amerikanska revolutionen.

De två männen möttes för första gången omkring den 20 eller 21 juni 1775, kort efter att Jefferson anlänt till staden. Adams hade några dagar tidigare nominerat George Washington till befälhavare för den kontinentala armén. Jefferson anslöt sig snabbt till olika kommittéer och imponerade på Adams med sina avgörande bidrag under mötena, trots att han förblev tyst under kongressens plenarsessioner.
