John Adams 1735-1826
John Adams did his
duty as second
president of the United States from 1797 to 1801.
Before that, John Adams was the first
U.S. vice president ever from 1789 - 1797. Here is a
snapshot of him with George Washington.
Washington was ready for retirement
after his two terms and on March 4, 1797, John Adams delivered his
Inaugural Address. He had won elections by a narrow margin
(71 to 68) running against
Jefferson, which made Thomas Jefferson vice president.
John Adam's eldest son was
John Quincy Adams.
His great-grandson
was
Henry Adams.
