John Quincy Adams was the sixth President of the United States. Adams was son of the President John Adams and Abigail Adams. Adams is best known as a diplomat who formed American's foreign policy in line with his deeply conservative and passionately nationalist commitment to America's republican values. Adams was elected a U.S. Representative from Massachusetts after exit office, the only president ever to do so, helping for the last 17 years of his life with far better success than he had achieved in the presidency. Adams properly predicted the dissolution of the Union on the issue, though the progression of bloody slave insurrections he foresaw never came to pass.

John Adams was an American politician and political philosopher and the 2nd President of the United States, past being the first Vice President of the United States for two terms. He was one of the most powerful Founding Fathers of the United States. As a representative of Congress in Europe, he was a major negotiator of the eventual peace treaty with Great Britain, and primarily responsible for obtaining significant loans from Amsterdam bankers. He encountered vicious attacks by the Jeffersonian Republicans, as well as the leading faction in his own Federalist Party led by his bitter enemy Alexander Hamilton. The major achievement of his presidency was his peaceful resolution of the Quasi-War in the face of Hamiltonian opposition.
