Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History ADAMS, JOHN QUINCY , sixth president of the United States, diplomat, congressman, U.S. senator, and secretary of state. As the eldest and most gifted son of John Adams, second president of the United States, Adams enjoyed many opportunities that prepared him for later public service. In 1802 Adams was elected a U.S. senator from Massachusetts as a Federalist, but he was too independent of mind to follow a regular party line. During the international tensions that arose from the Napoleonic Wars, he supported the policies of the Jefferson administration. His stand, contrary to the position of his party, resulted in his replacement as senator. He resigned, however, before the end of his term, only to be appointed to a series of important diplomatic posts. He was one of the American commissioners who arranged for the Treaty of Ghent that ended the War of 1812. As secretary of state, he drafted the Monroe Doctrine and acquired Florida from Spain for the United States. He was the New England candidate for the presidency in 1824, but neither he nor any of the other candidates commanded the electoral majority the Constitution required. Therefore the election was decided by the House of Representatives, each state casting one vote. Henry Clay threw his support to Adams, who was then elected over Andrew Jackson. When Adams made Clay his secretary of state, the disapproving Jacksonians accused the president of entering into "a corrupt bargain" with Clay. From then until the end of his administration, Adams was the target of highly charged partisan abuse.

Born in Braintree, Massachusetts, and educated at Harvard, Adams taught school before becoming a leading Boston lawyer. Although he actively opposed the Stamp Act as a violation of the unwritten British constitution, he demonstrated his sense of justice and his belief in due process by defending the British soldiers on trial for shooting citizens in the Boston Massacre . A delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses , Adams was one of five men selected to prepare the Declaration of Independence , which he signed. From 1778 to 1788 Adams performed diplomatic missions in France, the Netherlands, and England. He helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris , marking British recognition of American independence, and served as the first U.S. minister to Great Britain . Adams was a profound political thinker, who made major contributions to the theory and practice of constitutional government. He drafted the Massachusetts Constitution of 1780, which became a model for later state constitutions and the U.S. Constitution In 1789 Adams became the first vice president of the United States, later describing the post as "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived." As political parties began to form during his terms as vice president, Adams sided with the Federalists, becoming in 1796 the only president who was a member of the

He was born in Massachuetts before the US became a country. In his election as President, Andrew Jackson had more popular votes and more electorial votes, but John Quincy Adams was elected by the House of Representatives because no one had a majority. J.Q. Adams was one of 15 Presidents who were elected without winning the popular vote. Adams did not belong to a political party. President Adams spoke in a high, shrill voice. He suffered from depression throughout his life. He had three sons. He worked as a lawyer. Adams customarily took a nude early morning swim in the Potomac River. Anne Royall, the first U.S. professional journalist, knew of his 5 a.m. swims. After being refused interviews with the president time after time, she went to the river, gathered his clothes and sat on them until she had her interview. Before this, no female had interviewed a president. He was the first president to have his photo taken (April 13, 1843).

Although a successful general and president, Washington remained interested in farming throughout his presidency. He bred animals, specializing in the breeding of mules and helped to raise the quality of stock across the nation. As the first president, Washington had many new tasks to accomplish with trial and error as the only available method for accomplishing them. After appointing people to head the four executive departments, he tried to meet with each head, or ] secretary, individually. This proved to be daunting. As a result he had the secretaries meet with him as a group, forming the government's first cabinet. New York was the nation’s first capital, but people felt that the capital should be outside the territory of any states. George Washington selected the site for our current capital between the states of Maryland and Virginia. While the new capital was being built, Washington led the country from Philadelphia, which served as a temporary capital.

The Education of John Quincy Adams America's sixth president This issue of The Mandate examines the importance of the family in shaping the destiny of a nation. The article on pages 10-11 shows that God the Creator has given parents the great responsibility of overseeing the education and character development of their children. Christian character, which can never be adequately taught in a public school setting, is essential to sustain a free nation. Modern Americans have ceased, for the most part, to fulfill this obligation. They have turned away from the God who made America great and have produced a generation that is lazy, incapable of shouldering responsibility, dishonest, and forever blame-shifting. Many Chinese students observe these modern Americans and the enormous prosperity they have inherited and conclude that freedom and prosperity must have very little to do with personal character. But that is not true. We must look deeper to find the truth. The personal history of most early Americans reveals quite a distinct contrast in character to their modern counterparts. A close examination of historic accounts leads to one conclusion: America rose to greatness because of character - and she shall fall, if current trends prevail, for lack of it. John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, is an excellent example of this character instilled in early Americans. Born in 1767, John Quincy came from a New England farm family that played a significant role in shaping the course of the United States.

He served as a diplomat in Europe for three US Presidents. Through his childhood associations he became a linguist and well informed on many subjects. He was a capable secretary of state under US President Monroe. In fact, Adams was responsible for many of Monroe’s foreign accomplishments. He held several elected offices, but his independent actions separated him from his party. He barely won the presidency. The House of Representatives elected him because he did not have a plurality. He lost his bid for a second term, but he became a representative in Congress where he argued strongly for what he believed, no matter how controversial. In fact, he had a stroke debating an issue and died two days later.” On Line Lesson Plans: John Quincy Adams from DiscoverySchool.com

In the election of 1824, he ran for the Democratic-Republican Party, with his running mate John Calhoun. His biggest opponent was Andrew Jackson, General of the Battle of New Orleans.

John Adams who was then 90 years old was very pleased at his son's victory.
