Adams only had a one year term as president, but before he was president he was Washington’s vice president. After his one year term he moved to Massachusetts, and he lost his reelection to his vice president Thomas Jefferson. Adams was one of the men that signed the Declaration of Independence. Adams was one of the only president of the first five to not own any slaves. He was against slavery, but he was also against abolition.

John Quincy Adams’ presidency is often called unsuccessful. There are many reasons why, but one stands out the most, how he became President.
The presidency of George Washington was a difficult pair of terms to follow. John Adams tried to follow the precedent that the first president had set, but the second president only managed to polarize the nation among two parties: the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Although his decisions are today looked at with mixed feelings, at the time John Adams fell into popular disfavor. After his singular term due to the opposition of the Jeffersonian Anti-Federalists and the Hamiltonian Federalists (members of Adams’s own party), there was a power vacancy clearly waiting to be filled which would lead to the spot of the third President of the United States. The first twelve years of the nation and its first two presidents had been marred by stirrings of factionalism and tension. However, the two presidents after Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, would do much to lessen these issues due to educated and intelligent policy-making, in addition to a great deal of fortunate circumstances.
In history, there were a lot of great people who have played a crucial role in the development of various countries. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were two of the Founder Fathers of the United State that became in presidents during the first years of the country. They also signed the Declaration of Independency. Even though there were some similarities between Adams and Jefferson, there also were some differences, particularly in their background, political parties, and legacy as presidents.
There have been forty four presidents in the United States of America. Of them, President George Washington and President John Adams were the first two. They are widely considered as honored men who set a pace in history for what America is today. Although both are founding fathers of America, they were quite different in their life and in politics.
