Course Description

John Adams (1735-1826) and his son, John Quincy Adams (1767-1848) both served as Presidents of the United States (1797-1801) and (1825-1829), but their contributions to the young American nation go beyond their years as Chief Executive. We will examine the lives and careers of these two statesmen, who made major contributions to the growth of the American nation from the era of the American Revolution through the Jacksonian Era, from the 1770s to 1848. Questions and comments are welcome at the end of the lecture.
