Abigail Adams By Danielle F. Abigail Adams was born as Abigail Smith on November 11, 1744 in Weymouth, Massachusetts. She was the second of four children of the Rev. William and Elizabeth Quincy. Her health was delicate, so she never went to school. Her maternal grandmother, Mrs. John Quincy, had a great influence in her character and education. When Abigail was twenty years old, in 1764, she married John Adams, the future second US President. Abigail and John had five children....two daughters, and three sons. One of her sons, John Quincy, grew up and became the sixth President of the US. Ten years after John and Abigail married, the beginning of the American Revolution took place. Abigail took care of the family and the farm, keeping her family away from bankruptcy. In 1784, she went to Europe to join her husband. She stayed in Paris for eight months, and then moved to London for three years. In 1788, John returned with the rest of the family to the United States. During the Revolution, Abigail wrote many letters that she is now famous for. Her letters talked about current politics and expressed her opinions. When John was serving in the Continental Congress, Abigail wrote him a letter, telling him to "remember the ladies" when making the nation's new laws. Though Abigail really tried to give women more rights, the American Revolution didn’t do very much in that respect. The new state bills said that all the people were equal, but only white males had the full privileges of citizenship. It was clear in the letters that Abigail wrote that she was a Federalist. Her letters and writings are remembered as some of the best of her time.

T he C hristian E ducational V oice for N ew Y ork F amlies American Patriot of the Month John Quincy Adams President and Son of a President by Tom Stiles Until 2000, John Quincy Adams had the distinction of being the only son of a US President to serve as a President himself. He was born in Braintree (now Quincy) Massachusetts on July 11,1767. Believing in the value of good education, his parents schooled him at home for most of his education. His mother used the Bible as the basis of his education. In February 1778, Congress sent his father to France. John Quincy, not yet 12, pleaded to go on the dangerous voyage. He attended schools in Paris, Amsterdam and Leiden, as his father moved to different diplomatic assignments. At age 14, he went to St. Petersburg as private secretary to Francis Dana, the first American minister to Russia. The boy rejoined his father in 1783 and served as his private secretary. In 1785, young John returned home and entered Harvard College as a Junior, graduating in 1787. Like his father, he studied law privately, for three years. Having few clients after beginning his own practice in 1790, he turned to political journalism. In 1791, Thomas Paine published the first part of Rights of Man. Adams considered Paine's ideas too radical and replied with 11 articles, signing his name as "Publicola”. A second series, signed "Marcellus," defended President George Washington's policy of neutrality. A third series, signed "Columbus," attacked French minister Edmond Genet, who wanted America to join France in a war against the United Kingdom.

The Vice-Presidents The Presidents EA Contents JOHN C. CALHOUN Biography John Caldwell Calhoun, (1782-1850), kal-hoon', American statesman and political philosopher. From 1811 until his death he served in the federal government, successively as congressman, secretary of war, VICE PRESIDENT , senator, secretary of state, and again as senator. Always he was at the heart of the issues of his time, notably the nullification crisis and the conflict over slavery. Loyal to his nation, to his state of South Carolina, and, above all, to his principles, he sought to preserve the union while advancing Southern interests. Early Career Born in Abbeville district, S.C., on March 18, 1782, Calhoun grew up in an atmosphere of controversy and social change. The extension of cotton culture was bringing slavery into the up-country, where small farmers like his father were challenging the political dominance of the low-country planters. Calhoun was largely self-educated before he entered Yale as a junior in 1801. He graduated with honors in 1804; went on to law school, in Litchfield, Conn.; and was admitted to the South Carolina bar in 1807. Practicing in his native district, he quickly gained the reputation that took him to the state legislature. There, from 1809 to 1811, he helped establish an enduring balance of power between South Carolina's tidewater planters and piedmont farmers.

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.

John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the United States On the 21st of February 1848, after having suffered a previous stroke of apoplexy, he fell insensible on the floor of the Representatives' chamber, and two days later died. Few men in American public life have possessed more intrinsic worth, more independence, more public spirit and more ability than Adams, but throughout his political career he was handicapped by a certain reserve, a certain austerity and coolness of manner, and by his consequent inability to appeal to the imaginations and affections of the people as a whole. He had, indeed, few intimate political or personal friends, and few men in American history have, during their lifetime, been regarded with so much hostility and attacked with so much rancour hy their political opponents.

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.

Inaugural Address Quick Facts The Presidents EA Contents JOHN ADAMS Biography John Adams, ad'[sch ]mz, 2d PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES . He devoted his life to politics, participating with distinction first in the revolutionary activities of Boston and Philadelphia and later in the founding of the republic. He served as a Massachusetts delegate to the Continental CONGRESS , as a diplomat in the struggle to win European recognition of American independence, and as VICE PRESIDENT and president of the United States during its critical, formative years. Adams' diaries, letters, and books provide invaluable information about the politics of his time. His writings reveal the mind of an astute observer and philosophera very human one whose warmth, wit, and playfulness captivate the reader. His reputation as an intelligent and courageous statesman endures; but his name has been overshadowed by othersperhaps because he was not uniquely connected with any single great event.

History Books UK Related Subjects The Presidents Key information Departments Posters Calendars History Magazines Documentaries Best Sellers John Adams by David McCullough Left to his own devices, John Adams might have lived out his days as a Massachusetts country lawyer, devoted to his family and friends. As it was, events swiftly overtook him, and Adamswho, David McCullough writes, was "not a man of the world" and not fond of politicscame to greatness as the second president of the United States, and one of the most distinguished of a generation of revolutionary leaders. He found reason to dislike sectarian wrangling even more in the aftermath of war, when Federalist and anti-Federalist factions vied bitterly for power, introducing scandal into an administration beset by other difficultiesincluding pirates on the high seas, conflict with France and England, and all the public controversy attendant in building a nation. Overshadowed by the lustrous presidents Washington and Jefferson, who bracketed his tenure in office, Adams emerges from McCullough's brilliant biography as a truly heroic figurenot only for his significant role in the American Revolution but also for maintaining his personal integrity in its strife-filled aftermath. McCullough spends much of his narrative examining the troubled friendship between Adams and Jefferson, who had in common a love for books and ideas but differed on almost every other imaginable point. Reading his pages, it is easy to imagine the two as alter egos. (Strangely, both died on the same day, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.) But McCullough also considers Adams in his own light, and the portrait that emerges is altogether fascinating.
