Mother: Susannah BOYLSTON |
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.
Adams' two terms as Vice President were frustrating experiences
for a man of his vigor, intellect, and vanity. He complained to
his wife Abigail, "My country has in its wisdom contrived for me
the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man
contrived or his imagination conceived."
When Adams became President, the war between the French and
British was causing great difficulties for the United States on
the high seas and intense partisanship among contending factions
within the Nation.
His administration focused on France, where the Directory, the
ruling group, had refused to receive the American envoy and had
suspended commercial relations.
Adams sent three commissioners to France, but in the spring of
1798 word arrived that the French Foreign Minister Talleyrand
and the Directory had refused to negotiate with them unless they
would first pay a substantial bribe. Adams reported the insult
to Congress, and the Senate printed the correspondence, in which
the Frenchmen were referred to only as "X, Y, and Z."
The Nation broke out into what Jefferson called "the X. Y. Z.
fever," increased in intensity by Adams's exhortations. The
populace cheered itself hoarse wherever the President appeared.
Never had the Federalists been so popular.
Congress appropriated money to complete three new frigates and
to build additional ships, and authorized the raising of a
provisional army. It also passed the Alien and Sedition Acts,
intended to frighten foreign agents out of the country and to
stifle the attacks of Republican editors.
President Adams did not call for a declaration of war, but
hostilities began at sea. At first, American shipping was almost
defenseless against French privateers, but by 1800 armed
merchantmen and U.S. warships were clearing the sea-lanes.
Despite several brilliant naval victories, war fever subsided.
Word came to Adams that France also had no stomach for war and
would receive an envoy with respect. Long negotiations ended the
quasi war.
Sending a peace mission to France brought the full fury of the
Hamiltonians against Adams. In the campaign of 1800 the
Republicans were united and effective, the Federalists badly
divided. Nevertheless, Adams polled only a few less electoral
votes than Jefferson, who became President.
On November 1, 1800, just before the election, Adams arrived in
the new Capital City to take up his residence in the White
House. On his second evening in its damp, unfinished rooms, he
wrote his wife, "Before I end my letter, I pray Heaven to bestow
the best of Blessings on this House and all that shall hereafter
inhabit it. May none but honest and wise Men ever rule under
this roof."
Adams retired to his farm in Quincy. Here he penned his
elaborate letters to Thomas Jefferson. Here on July 4, 1826, he
whispered his last words: "Thomas Jefferson survives." But
Jefferson had died at Monticello a few hours earlier.
