John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were prominent founding fathers. They were the first 2 Vice-Presidents and the 2nd and 3rd President of the United States. Although, Jefferson served as Adams' Vice-President (was Vice Presdident by virtue of being runner up for Presidency), the two were considered adversaries. Adams was a Federalist; Jefferson a Democratic-Republican. Adams was a Northerner from Massachusetts; Jefferson a Southerner from Virginia. Adams was anti-slavery; Jefferson disagreed with slavery, but owned slaves. Yet, they would both die on the same 4th of July.
The two new tribes will be based upon geography. Of the 14 Vice Presidents/Presidents listed, 7 of them hailed from Northern states. The other seven from Southern or Western states.
