John Quincy Adams By Yashu John Quincy Adams was the sixth President of the United States and the only President that is the son of another President. He was born on July 11, 1767 in Braintree (now called Quincy), Massachusetts. He was the oldest son of John Adams, the second president. He grew up during the Revolutionary War. He started his education under his mother, Abigail Adams' supervision. John Quincy Adams did a lot before his Presidency. He lived in Europe from ages 10 to 17. When he was only 14, he acted as a French interpreter. In 1783, he was present at the signing of the Treaty of Paris. After returning to the U.S., he graduated from Harvard University and studied law. In 1797, when John Quincy Adams was on a mission to England, he married Louisa Catherine Johnson, daughter of an American consul in London, England. She is also one of the few first ladies that is foreign born. Together they had 4 children. Once more he returned to the U.S., by that time he already mastered French, Spanish, Latin, Greek and Dutch. In 1803 John Quincy Adams was elected to a short term in the Senate. 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. Jackson received a lot of popular votes. However, Jackson didn't receive a majority of votes, so the House of Representatives elected Adams President. John Adams who was then 90 years old was very pleased at his son's victory.

Home John Adams, 1st Vice President (1789-1797) It is not for me to interrupt your deliberations by any general observations on the state of the nation, or by recommending, or proposing any particular measures. On April 21, 1789, John Adams, the first vice president of the United States, began his duties as president of the Senate. Adams' role in the administration of George Washington was sharply constrained by the constitutional limits on the vice-presidency and his own reluctance to encroach upon executive prerogative. He enjoyed a cordial but distant relationship with President Washington, who sought his advice on occasion but relied primarily on the cabinet. Adams played a more active role in the Senate, however, particularly during his first term. A Family Tradition of Public Service A Lawyer and a Legislator As a member of the town meeting, Adams drafted instructions for the Braintree delegate to the Massachusetts provincial assembly, known as the General Court, which met in October 1765 to formulate the colony's response to the Stamp Act. Adams' rationale, that the colonies could not be taxed by a parliament in which they were not represented, and that the stamp tax was "inconsistent with the spirit of the common law and of the essential fundamental principles of the British constitution," soon appeared in the Massachusetts Gazette and Boston News Letter. His cousin, Samuel Adams, incorporated John's argument in the instructions that he drafted for the Boston delegates, and other towns adopted the same stance.

Buried : First Unitarian Church, Quincy, Massachusetts Consulting Editor Mary Hargreaves, University of Kentucky, Emeritus Biography: A Life in Brief Reared for public service, John Quincy Adams became one of the nation's preeminent secretaries of state, but he proved to be the wrong man for the presidency. Aloof, stiff-necked, and ferociously independent, he failed to develop the support he needed in Washington, even among his own party. Faced throughout his term with organized opposition from the Democrats who were committed to limiting Adams to a single term and replacing him with Andrew Jackson Adams refused to forge the political alliances necessary to push his ideas into policy. His father, President John Adams, had also ignored the political side of the office, and he served only one term. History repeated itself with his son: John Quincy Adams lost his reelection bid to Jackson in 1828.

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.
