Per the previous 4th of July post, there was a request to find the clip where John Adams bemoans his fate, that he'll never appear in the history books and that only Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Washington's horse (he rode several, apparently his favorite was named "Old Nelson") will be known for winning the Revolution.
Only problem with that clip is that it cuts off Franklin's response too soon. It's pretty much the only YouTube clip I can find. If anyone can find a longer clip that preserves the punchline, pass it on.
