The listing, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS: ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PRESIDENTS has ended.
This book was purchased at a library sale after it was withdrawn from circulation.
John Quincy Adams was already a distinguished diplomat at age thirty when his father John Adams became the 2nd president. He served as minister to the Dutch Republic, Prussia, Great Britain, & Russia and later he negotiated treaties that ended the war of 1812 and gained the Florida Territory from Spain. As secretary of state under Monroe, Adams helped frame the Monroe Doctrine, a warning against European interference in the Americas, which still guides U.S. foreign policy. His 4 years as the 6th U.S. president were an anticlimax--the brilliant diplomat proved to be unbending and unpopular. Rather than retire, ex-president Adams was elected to the House of Representatives, where he served for seventeen years, and advocated fairer treatment for Native Americans, an end to slavery, and recognition of women's rights!
