John Quincy Adams was born in 1767, which meant he was too young to sign the Declaration of Independence and old enough to watch it become real.
I feel like I knew a ton about John Quincy Adams but after reading this wonderfully written article, I learned so much more. Thanks.
The way you write is so descriptive, and really paints a clear picture of the topic for your readers. It’s so easy to follow, and the personal asides almost make it feel like a conversation. Like we are part of the story you are telling.
Thank you 😊
I'm a JQA fan. For sure. This essay really, really does him proud. Thank you!
Yay 😀
Thank you for the essay. A nice contrast to the blemishes other founders carry with them.
Beautifully illustrative. Thank you for the read.
I learned something today. Thanks!
“Who but shall learn that freedom is the prize
Man still is bound to rescue or maintain;
That nature’s God commands the slave to rise,
And on the oppressor’s head to break the chain.
Roll, years of promise, rapidly roll round,
Till not a slave shall on this earth be found.” - J Q Adams, six months after his father’s death.
Wow. I know Hamilton wasn't super historically accurate, but that show did Adams dirty.
Thank you for giving another perspective!
Politics, especially in the present era, needs more elected officials, such as John Quincy Adams.
