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.

On the other hand, the very success of Adams as Monroe's secretary of state had resolved many of the issues in foreign affairs that might have engaged Adams as president. The Great Lakes were pacified, fishing rights off of Canada had been restored, the U.S.-Canadian boundary had been established, Florida was safely procured, and the U.S-Spanish border west of the Mississippi was resolved in ways that gave America strong claim to the Pacific Coast in the Northwest. These were all issues that previously had brought the nation into open conflict with England. In essence, not much was left for the State Department to tackle in the mid-1820s, other than routine commercial treaties with Scandinavian countries and the new Latin American nations—all of which were accomplished by secretary of state Clay.

He attended private schools in America and abroad when he traveled with his diplomat-father. He graduated from Harvard, became a lawyer, and wrote about politics. He served as a diplomat in Europe for three US Presidents. Through his childhood associations he became a linguist and well informed on many subjects. He was a capable secretary of state under US President Monroe. In fact, Adams was responsible for many of Monroe’s foreign accomplishments. He held several elected offices, but his independent actions separated him from his party. He barely won the presidency. The House of Representatives elected him because he did not have a plurality. He lost his bid for a second term, but he became a representative in Congress where he argued strongly for what he believed, no matter how controversial. In fact, he had a stroke debating an issue and died two days later.” On Line Lesson Plans: John Quincy Adams from DiscoverySchool.com

He was a Harvard graduate. He taught school briefly before practicing law. Adams was a leader against British colonial policies. He relished every act of opposition toward the British, and yet his high principles led him to defend British soldiers for their part in the Boston Massacre. As a delegate to the Continental Congress he was an advocate of independence. He was on the committee that wrote the Declaration of Independence. His most successful act as a diplomat was having The Netherlands recognize American sovereignty. He felt the vice presidency was an ‘insignificant office.’ He was president during a controversial time, but kept the country out of war. Adams could be blunt, impatient, and vain, but he had strong convictions which in time have been proven right.”” On Line Lesson Plans for Adams: John Adams Thinkquest Coloring Pages, Crafts, and Fun Activities:

JOHN QUINCY ADAMS 6th President of the United States John Quincy Adams was the son of President John Adams , served as U.S. Senator from Massachusetts and was Secretary of State under President Monroe . In the presidential election of 1824, no one candidate received a majority of electoral votes and the election was decided in Adams' favor by Congress. The election of 1828 was the first in which the candidates were chosen by state legislatures instead of congressional caucuses, making the popular vote more of a factor. Adams lost by a wide margin to the Democrat from the south, Andrew Jackson . Although he served only one term as president, in 1830 Adams was elected to the House of Representatives, where he served for the remaining 17 years of his life. Extra credit : Historian David McCullough's biography, John Adams , was an instant bestseller after its release in May of 2001... Adams and Jefferson , revolutionary cohorts and longtime political rivals, died in separate states on the same day: the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence...

ABIGAIL ADAMS First Lady of the U.S. Name at birth: Abigail Smith Abigail Adams was the wife of the 2nd U.S. president, John Adams , and the mother of the 6th U.S. president, John Quincy Adams . Abigail was descended on her mother's side from the Quincys, a prominent New England family. She married John Adams, then a lawyer, in 1764, and they spent much of their early life apart as John Adams travelled as a circuit judge and then became a key player in the American Revolution. Their fond, newsy and philosophical letters to one another during these absences have become famous both as evidence of a deep love affair and as a source of information about the Revolutionary era. Abigail lived briefly in Paris and London as John Adams served as U.S. ambassador to France and England, and she became a friend to First Lady Martha Washington when John Adams became the country's first vice-president under George Washington . John Adams became president in 1797, and after his single term ended in 1801 he and Abigail retired to their home in Quincy, Massachusetts. Abigail Adams died of typhoid fever in 1818; seven years later, in 1825, her son John Quincy became president. Extra credit : Abigail and John Adams had five children in all: Abigail (b. 1765)
