John Adams: Revealing Relationships of a Founding Father

John Adams didnâ€™t cut a dashing figure like George Washington. He was not the darling of France as was Benjamin Franklin. He was not a wealthy and statuesque plantation owner like Thomas Jefferson. Adams was highly opinionated, blunt, and often tactless in his social interactions. To top it off, he was short, fat, and awkward. This does not sound like the description of a Founding Father we should want to know any better â€“ but thatâ€™s where youâ€™re wrong. Adams, perhaps more than any other Founding Father, was a driving force that pushed America to declare its independence from Britain. It was Adams who supplied the raw ideas of what a new government should look like. He always represented the larger public good in all of his public service, even when buffeted by the forces of antagonistic party politics during his tenure as the second President of the United States. The details and legacy of his lifeâ€™s work are best viewed through the lens of his relationships to people, places, and ideas. In John Adams: Revealing Relationships of a Founding Father, youâ€™ll learn how Adams was frustrated with France, jostled by Jefferson, aided by Abigail, flummoxed by Franklin, masterminded his sonâ€™s success in politics with Monroe, and was often perplexed by politics.
