| | | John Quincy Adams - Old Man Eloquent is the biography of John Quincy Adams, who was a diplomat, politician, and the sixth President of the United States (March 4, 1825 - March 4, 1829). His party affiliations were Federalist, Democratic-Republican, National Republican, and later Anti-Masonic and Whig. Adams was the son of United States President John Adams and first lady Abigail Adams. He is most famous as a diplomat involved in key international negotiations, and for formulating the Monroe Doctrine. Late in life, as a Congressman, he was a leading opponent of the Slave Power, arguing that if a civil war ever broke out the President could abolish slavery by using his war powers, a policy followed by Abraham Lincoln in the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863. John Quincy Adams - Old Man Eloquent is highly recommended for those interested in learning more about this fascinating American President.
