John Adams John Adams Learned and thoughtful, John Adams was more remarkable as a political philosopher than as a politician. "People and nations are forged in the fires of adversity," he said, doubtless thinking of his own as well as the American experience. Adams was born in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1735. A Harvard-educated lawyer, he early became identified with the patriot cause; a delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, he led in the movement for independence. During the Revolutionary War he served in France and Holland in diplomatic roles, and helped negotiate the treaty of peace. From 1785 to 1788 he was minister to the Court of St. James's, returning to be elected Vice President under George Washington. President Bush Biography Vice President Cheney Biography Laura Bush Biography Lynne Cheney Biography Adams' two terms as Vice President were frustrating experiences for a man of his vigor, intellect, and vanity. He complained to his wife Abigail, "My country has in its wisdom contrived for me the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived."

Little-Known U.S. Document Signed by President Adams Proclaims America's Government Is Secular by Jim Walker Some people today assert that the United States government came from Christian foundations. They argue that our political system represents a Christian ideal form of government and that Jefferson, Madison, et al, had simply expressed Christian values while framing the Constitution. If this proved true, then we should have a wealth of evidence to support it, yet just the opposite proves the case. Although, indeed, many of America's colonial statesmen practiced Christianity, our most influential Founding Fathers broke away from traditional religious thinking. The ideas of the Great Enlightenment that began in Europe had begun to sever the chains of monarchical theocracy. These heretical European ideas spread throughout early America. Instead of relying on faith, people began to use reason and science as their guide. The humanistic philosophical writers of the Enlightenment, such as Locke, Rousseau, and Voltaire, had greatly influenced our Founding Fathers and Isaac Newton's mechanical and mathematical foundations served as a grounding post for their scientific reasoning. A few Christian fundamentalists attempt to convince us to return to the Christianity of early America, yet according to the historian, Robert T. Handy, "No more than 10 percent probably less of Americans in 1800 were members of congregations."

He was a Harvard graduate. He taught school briefly before practicing law. Adams was a leader against British colonial policies. He relished every act of opposition toward the British, and yet his high principles led him to defend British soldiers for their part in the Boston Massacre. As a delegate to the Continental Congress he was an advocate of independence. He was on the committee that wrote the Declaration of Independence. His most successful act as a diplomat was having The Netherlands recognize American sovereignty. He felt the vice presidency was an ‘insignificant office.’ He was president during a controversial time, but kept the country out of war. Adams could be blunt, impatient, and vain, but he had strong convictions which in time have been proven right.”” On Line Lesson Plans for Adams: John Adams Thinkquest Coloring Pages, Crafts, and Fun Activities:

World Civilizations The Great American History Fact-Finder Adams, John , vice president under George Washington and second president of the United States . 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."

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.
