John Quincy Adams (July 11, 1767 – February 23, 1848) was a Statesian politician who served as the sixth president of the United States from 1825 to 1829. Unlike his predecessor James Monroe and successor Andrew Jackson, he prioritized science and infrastructure over expansion. He refused to sign a treaty that would steal the lands of the Muscogee Nation in Georgia.[1]
Secretary of State[edit | edit source]
As Secretary of State, Adams created the Monroe Doctrine and discouraged the USA from fighting in foreign wars.[1]
Presidency[edit | edit source]
Adams became president in 1825 and proposed improving roads and canals and investing in science and enterprise. He was unable to implement many of his goals and lost the 1828 election to Andrew Jackson.[1]
House of Representatives[edit | edit source]
After his presidency, Adams returned to the House of Representatives. In court, he represented the rebels of the Amistad who overthrew their enslavers and tried to return to Africa. He died in 1848 while arguing against the invasion of Mexico.[1]
