- www.baltimoremd.com
- John Quincy Adams and "The Monumental City" .
- P resident John Quincy Adams, brilliantly portrayed by Sir Anthony Hopkins in the recent film Amistad, is the man responsible for designating Baltimore as "The Monumental City. " When Adams visited the city in fall 1827, work had been completed on the Battle Monument celebrating the city's defensive victory in the War of 1812 on the site of the old court house. ... No wonder Adams gave the city its "monumental" designation. ...
- John Quincy Adams, the son of our second president, John Adams, was a starchy and religious Bostonian. ... Adams "eventually became reclusive and depressed" and "regretted ever having married into the Adams family, the men of which she found cold and insensitive. ... Adams' depression was heightened by the untimely death of the couple's two eldest sons. ...
- Classing himself "a gloomy misanthrope," Adams may have wondered what type of reception he might receive in Baltimore, which had largely voted against him in the election of 1824--as had the rest of the nation, which gave the popular vote narrowly to Andrew Jackson.

11. John Adams: Unsung Hero of the American Revolution

- John Adams: Unsung Hero of the American Revolution .
- In a letter dated July 3, 1776, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was participating in the Second Continental Congress, John Adams, the future second President of the United States, wrote to his wife Abigail Smith Adams at their home in Braintree, Massachusetts:1.
- In another letter dated July 3, 1776 from John Adams at the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Abigail Smith Adams in Braintree, Massachusetts, John Adams wrote:2.
- So John Adams, American Statesman and President, father of the sixth President of the United States, John Quincy Adams, stated in his letters at the time that he felt that the "Second Day of July" would be the holiday which Americans would celebrate for centuries to come as the Independence Day of their country.
- John Adams is generally understood to have seconded the motion, precise records of which do not appear in the Journal. ...
- The next day, June 11, 1776, a committee for the writing of the Declaration was chosen consisting of Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, and Robert Livingston of New York. ...
- Clearly, the more important issue was the vote on independence, which Adams acknowledged in his letters at the time, and in his subsequent writings. However, the Declaration being dated July 4, 1776, very early American history began celebrating Independence Day on July 4th, and great credit was generally given to Jefferson as author of the Declaration, with less credit given to Adams, who was the true point man in Congress for the independence movement.
- Adams had received appropriate credit for his other great contributions to American history after his service in the fight for Independence in 1776. However, throughout American history, John Adams has generally received less credit for his great contributions than any other of the great Founding Fathers. ...
- The Republicans were buttressed by the remnants of the Anti-Federalists, and included at the head of their ranks Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe, the three future Virginia Republican Presidents who succeeded to the Presidency after Adams stepped down in 1801, the event which signaled the end of the Federalist Era. ...
- John Adams was a moderate Federalist during these tumultuous political times when the Constitution was in its infancy and the outcome of the "Great Experiment" was in doubt. ... As a man driven by conscience, whose loyalties were more towards the people of his country and its ideals than to any political party or point of view, Adams received criticism from the camps of both the Federalists and the Republicans, and since both camps firmly believed the other was a direct threat to the new Constitutional Government which had been created, the competition and criticism was furious, with Adams, being in the middle, receiving the majority of the heat from both sides.
- And perhaps Adams himself contributed to his own fate, and to some of the labels which were foisted upon him during his political career. In the election of 1797, the Republicans labeled Adams a "monarchist," which was tantamount to accusing a person of treason back in the years right after the Colonies had thrown off the yoke of British monarchism. Adams, as Vice President of the United States under Washington and President of the Senate, had led an unsuccessful effort in the Senate of the first Congress after the ratification of the Constitution to confer a title of nobility on the President of the United States, "consuming virtually all of the Senate's time from from April 23 to May 14, 1789. ...
