From the Paper
"Both Adams and Jefferson showed contempt for the Catholic Church and Christianity in general. According to Adams, "The doctrine of the divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity." Adams signed the Treaty of Tripoli, with stated, "The Government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." Jefferson expressed similar feelings when he stated: "I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our superstitions of Christianity, one redeeming feature. They are all founded on fables and mythology. Christianity has made one-half the world fools and the other half hypocrites.""

Abstract
This paper examines the build-up of the political career of the sixth American president, John Quincy Adams. It looks at how he began his political career by being inspired by his father, also an American president. Also discusses the political environment at the time of his rule, which was from 1825 to 1829.

From the Paper
"When Adams ran again in 1824, he lost in both the popular and electoral votes (Wikipedia, 2004). However, none of the candidates were able to secure a majority of the electoral vote, thereby yuring the power over to the House of Representatives, which to the surprise of many chose Adams over rival Andrew Jackson. Adams served as President from March 4, 1825 to March 4, 1829. During this time, his major accomplishmnet was the development of a federal system of roads, canals, bridges, lighthouses, and universities. Adams remained president until Jackson, who defeated Adams in his campaign for re-election, replaced him."

Abstract
This paper examines how Adams laid the groundwork for the U.S.'s future positions in foreign policy. This essay looks at the way in which Adams developed a warmer relationship with England, expanded the borders of the United States and helped Monroe formulate his famous ideas about non-colonization and abstention from European affairs.

From the Paper
"Adams became Secretary of State at a time when the country had temporarily resolved, or at least tabled, its most pressing internal problems and was trying to define its relationships with and obligations to other countries. As head of the Department of State, Adams had a hand in formulating policies and treaties which would define the United States both geographically and politically. In his eight years as Secretary of State, he is probably best known for maintaining peace with England, negotiating the 1819 treaty with Spain for the cession of Florida, and collaborating on and supporting the Monroe doctrine."

Abstract
This paper shall provide a review of the life of John Quincy Adams as presented in the book, "John Quincy Adams" by Lynn H. Parsons. It is a good brief summary on the life and the more renowned achievements of Adams.

Abstract
This paper explains that Henry Adams's "The Education of Henry Adams" is subtitled as a biography, but doesn't actually tell the story of Henry Adams life; instead, it looks at how he developed his mental ideas and opinions based on historical, political, and philosophical contemplation of the things that were going on during his time. The author points out that, in the "The Education of Henry Adams," Adams places a great deal of criticism on himself and the entire world, which can be very satiric and biting, but there is warmth and humor contained within the book. The paper relates that one small downside to the book is that Adams appears to generalize everything to the point that it often appears he is lumping too many individuals together and does not allow various individual opinions to actually come through.

From the Paper
"Much of what the book has to offer, however, deals with the power that was had at the time by Christianity and the church and how this power was changed and forced into submission by Darwin's theory of evolution, and much of the power that technology had over individuals during that time. To discuss technology, Adams mentions the Paris exposition that he attended in 1900 and the dynamos that were present there. After he saw this type of technology coming to the front the also realized that Darwinism was causing so much chaos in the world and he felt that there was so much power in technology that the church was not able to withstand the onslaught."

Abstract
This paper explores a little bit of the history of John and Abigail Adams, how John Adams rose to power as President of the United States through his political career, and how Abigail Adams stayed home and sent her support and love through a series of love letters to her husband.

Abstract
This paper follows John Adams through his career with an emphasis on the " the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived or his imagination conceived" the job of George Washington's vice-president.

From the Paper
"John Adams was very much involved with the government before he was elected president. He was a consultant and a writer for newspapers that critiqued the government of the day. John Adams was elected as a member of the Massachusetts legislature. However, this prestigious position was revoked as he rejoiced when the Bostonians dumped the hated British tea into the Boston harbor. During the Boston Massacre, shots were fired upon the citizens of Boston who taunted and heckled the British troops. None other than "John Adams represented the British soldiers to be innocent and in danger of being railroaded by the colonists if action was not taken" (Degregorio, 24). When Britain retaliated, John Adams was elected as a radical to the First Continental Congress in 1774. John Adams held strong ambitions for foreign policy and helped write the resolutions of May 10, 1776. He also strongly defended the Declaration of Independence such that he had certified it with his signature."

Abstract
This paper reviews Henry Adams' book "The Education of Henry Adams". This book is not an autobiography as it does not tell the story of Adams' life, but rather his ideas and outlook of life based on historical, political, and philosophical contemplation of the things that were going on during his time.

From the Paper
"The book is subtitled as a biography, but doesn't actually tell the story of Henry Adams life. Instead, it looks at how he developed his mental ideas and opinions and at the conclusions that he reached based on historical, political, and philosophical contemplation of the things that were going on during his time. Because of this, there are some of the more controversial issues of his life that have been left out. For example, he was married to a photographer named Clover for quite some time until she eventually killed herself. This is left out of the book in light of looking at more of the philosophical implications of the country at that time. Henry Adams also wrote the "History of the United States" and even though the writing was extremely large it has been omitted from this particular book. There are, however, some references in various parts of the text to some of the latter work. "

Abstract
This paper discusses six senators as presented in the book "Profiles in Courage" by John F. Kennedy, showing their backgrounds, their political points of view, their acts, and the aftermath in each case. The six senators discussed are John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Thomas Hart Benton, Sam Houston, Edmund G. Ross, and Lucius Lamar, covering the nineteenth century from the early period through and past the Civil War.

From the Paper
"John F. Kennedy offers a series of portraits of U.S. Senators and their courageous political acts in the face of adversity in his book 'Profiles in Courage'. He features Senators because he himself was in the Senate at the time, and he could include other political leaders who also displayed courage in their professional lives. The men he does choose to profile represent a number of different political backgrounds and points of view. John Quincy Adams was a young Senator from Massachusetts, the same position as Kennedy when he wrote his book. At the time, the Senate was just developing as an institution. Adams was a Federalist, the leading political party of the time, a party that emerged from the late colonial period through the efforts of men like Madison and Jay, the writers of The Federalist Papers.
