Written in Wood at Yale 200 book by Janet Stimson ... by Elizabeth Archibald When David McCullough won the National Book Award in 1981 for Mornings on Horseback John Adams , McCullough teaches the significance of this lesson. He studies Adams, a man of honesty and wisdom, so we might learn his story, and then delight in his triumph. The book begins in medias res with a sketch of Adams as he rides to the First Continental Congress, and then narrates chronologically from birth to the grave over a ninety-one year lifetime. Son of a deacon, Adams had neither the family fortune of Thomas Jefferson nor the elegant homestead of John Hancock to match his ambition. His father sensed the precocious boy’s promise and sent him to Harvard to become a minister. Adams returned with a passion for politics and literature, but searched for grounding until he finally settled on a career in law and married Abigail Smith. As anti-British sentiment swelled in the 1760s, he attained distinction as an honest, though unpopular protector of human liberties when he defended the British troops responsible for the Boston Massacre. But Adams achieved true greatness as an eloquent, stubborn advocate of independence in the Continental Congress, and as an architect, along with Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, of the Declaration of Independence.

John Adams, who represented the United States in France 1778-1779, returned to Paris in 1780 as a Peace Commissioner charged by the Continental Congress with negotiating a peace treaty with Great Britain. Unable to get the British to begin peace negotiations, in January 1781 Adams moved to Holland as Minister to the Netherlands. Ironically, Britain declared war on Holland in December 1780 on the pretext that the Dutch were contemplating a treaty with the rebellious Americans. Adams hoped to use British belligerence and the republican traditions of the United Provinces for the patriot cause, but he soon found that Dutch commercial interests outweighed support for American independence. The Dutch carried on a profitable contraband trade with the 13 States from their holdings in the West Indies. An alliance with America would imperil that trade, since British sea power could easily disrupt it. Furthermore, Willem V, the Stadholder of the United Province, was an Anglophile and close relative of George III. It took Adams many months of frustration, but he managed to negotiate a loan from Dutch bankers for the virtually bankrupt United States, and in April 1782, he finally won Dutch recognition of American independence.

Advertisement Rolling Stone ALL Artist Album Song Try 4 Frees Issues! The Litigator JOHN ADAMS Posted Nov 03, 2005 2:26 PM If the planet has a lawyer, it's John Adams. In 2003, when the Bush administration failed to curb auto emissions as mandated by the Clean Air Act, Adams unleashed his team of attorneys at the Natural Resources Defense Council to file a landmark lawsuit against the government. He also sued the nation's five largest power companies for spewing the greenhouse gases responsible for global warming, and he will soon be going to court to stop automakers from blocking a new clean-car law in California. All told, the organization currently has more than 200 lawsuits pending against polluters. "NRDC represents the gold standard," says Eric Schaeffer, former head of law enforcement at the Environmental Protection Agency. "Their attorneys rival the sharpest minds in the EPA and are defending public health right now in a way that officials under the Bush regime can't." At seventy-two, Adams is a white-haired, button-down attorney who comes across as mild-mannered and unflappable. But he can display a mean bark in the courtroom, as well as an impeccable command of the facts. A crackerjack strategist who co-founded NRDC in 1970, he promptly made a name for the organization by playing a key role in writing the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. NRDC now boasts more than a million members, an annual budget of $60 million and a more powerful climate arm than any other environmental group. In his thirty-five years of shaping NRDC's legal tactics, Adams says, he has never seen a more worthy target than the Bush administration: "Their denial is stupefying. Here we have an administration that invaded Iraq on sparse and even bogus evidence, and yet they claim to be unconvinced by the overwhelming data on climate change despite a bigger scientific consensus than most any we've ever seen in history."

var zflag_nid="538"; var zflag_cid="19/6"; var zflag_sid="1"; var zflag_width="1"; var zflag_height="1"; var zflag_sz="15"; Home Biography American Presidents American Presidents John Adams: Critical Review Being the president, Adams was allowed to choose his own cabinet. He replaced Washington's cabinet which consisted of Edmund Randolph, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox, and William Bradford. Timothy Pickering of Massachusetts was appointed the secretary of state, Oliver Welcott of Connecticut became the secretary of treasury, James McHenry of Maryland became the secretary of war, and Charles Lee of Virginia was appointed the attorney general. It is quite obvious that George Washington had a much better cabinet than Adams did. John Adam's cabinet was not nearly as witty or as intelligent than the one of Washington. Obviously, Mr. Adams did not do too good of a job on choosing his colleagues. In 1798, President Adams signed into law the Alien and Sedition Acts. These acts were four bills which were designed to crush the opposition. The Naturalization Act made it more difficult for immigrants to become citizens. It raised the amount of years required for naturalization from four to fifteen. This act was repealed in 1802. The Alien Act empowered the president to arrest and deport any alien who is considered to be dangerous. This act expired in 1800. The Alien Enemies Act was directed at French immigrants. It authorized the president to round up and imprison enemy aliens during war time. This act expired in 1801. The Naturalization and Alien Acts were aimed largely at Irish immigrants and French refugees who had participated in political activities critical to the Adams administration. In a severe blow to the freedom of the press, the sedition act threatened with fine and imprisonment anyone who "shall write, print, utter or publish...scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the government of the United States, or either House of the Congress...or the President...with intent to defame...or to bring them...into contempt or disrepute; or to excite against them...the hatred of the good people of the United States."

All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse. Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.

PRESIDENTS DAY John Adams Second President 1797-1801 Born: October 30 1735 in Braintree, Norfolk, Massachusetts. Education: Graduated from Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Occupation: Lawyer, diplomat, public official. Religoin: Unitarian. Family life: He married Abigail Smith on October 25, 1764 . It was a marriage of the mind and of the heart, enduring for more than half a century, enriched by time. The children of John and Abigail were Abigail Amelia Adams (1765- 1813) , John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), Susanna Adams (1768- 1770), Charles Adams (1770-1800), and Thomas Boylston Adams ( 772-1832). Abigail died in 1818, and is buried beside her husband. She leaves her country a most remarkable record as patriot and First Lady, wife of one President and mother of another. Political career: An early leader of the Revolution, Adams attended the Continental Congresses and was on the committee to write the Declaration of Independence. A leading diplomat, 1778-88, he helped Washington's career and was vice-president, 1789-97. Elected in 1796 as a Federalist; was badly defeated for reelection in 1880, and retired to Quincy in 1801. Highlights of his presidency: Prospective treaty with the French marred by XYZ affair; French officials demanded bribes. Alien and Sedition laws passed with Adams neutral. Because of his lack of support in Congress, Adams did not accomplish much in his four years in office. John Adams has been the least understood and appreciated. His reputation, both during his lifetime and after, has suffered from this lack of understanding.
