John Quincy Adams
|
|
|
|
Hello, I'm John Quincy Adams. I grew up in Braintree, Massachusetts,
|
|
and when I became an adult I traveled with my father on his diplomatic
|
|
missions until I became interested in political journalism at Harvard and
|
|
eventually became he sixth president of the United States. During my
|
|
lifetime, from 1767 to 1848, the United States was desperately trying to
|
|
make allies, as the country was in it's infancy. I followed my father's
|
|
footsteps, as I was working in foreign relations before I became President.
|
|
I have experienced many great events, such as when I was appointed as
|
|
minister to the Netherlands, a mere three days later I witnessed the French
|
|
invade the country and overthrow the Dutch Republic. This was thought of
|
|
by many as an attempt for the French to show the United States how strong
|
|
it was, without exerting any force on them at all. On a different
|
|
occasion, when I was appointed minister to Russia, I was the leading
|
|
negotiator for the Treaty of Ghent with the British, which ended the War of
|
|
1812. These negotiations gained respect for the United States and me as a
|
|
diplomat. I am a likable person wherever I go. When I was a kid, our
|
|
family was very closely knit, as we all helped manage the farm, except for
|
|
my dad, who was usually away in foreign countries. This didn't affect me
|
|
very much since I joined up with him when I was 11 on his operations after
|
|
my persistent asking. As President, I worked scrupulously to work out
|
|
problems and provide leadership for the country. This was acknowledged by
|
|
my fellow officials in office and by the country, as I'm thought of as a
|
|
person with integrity and honesty. Louisa Catherine Adams, my wife, holds
|
|
a special place in my heart. She has always been trustworthy and nice. As
|
|
a child she had to deal with ill health frequently, (which often recurs),
|
|
and as First Lady she held brilliant parties for my Cabinet and friends.
|
|
Louisa and I had four children, but sadly they all died before they could
|
|
have children of their own, all for various reasons. My only real enemy to
|
|
speak of is Andrew Jackson. Before my administration, Jackson and his
|
|
followers accused me of promising Henry Clay a cabinet post in return for
|
|
his support. After I was elected, and I appointed Clay Secretary of State,
|
|
Jackson's strong followers in Congress called it a 'corrupt bargain'. This
|
|
dispute forever split the Democratic-Republican Party, and mine is now
|
|
known as the National Republicans. Throughout my life in politics, I was
|
|
just concerned with providing the country with leadership to the best of my
|
|
ability. I realized all my actions would influence everyone after me, so
|
|
it wasn't just my administration I was providing for. I'm very fortunate
|
|
to have a father like I did. I didn't have very many obstacles to overcome
|
|
on my way into the White House, since my father really led me into
|
|
position, right up to his support for me as President, which influenced
|
|
even more people to vote for me. I consider the split of the parties an
|
|
obstacle to overcome since if it weren't for the intense campaigning
|
|
afterward, I probably wouldn't have been elected since I lost much support
|
|
from that event. Nothing is really funny in my life since I am often
|
|
saddened by my wife's frequent illnesses and charges from Jackson.
|
|
Throughout my life in politics, it has usually just been being a different
|
|
minister for a different country before settling in the White House. I
|
|
have often been misunderstood, due to the fact of my philosophy to change
|
|
things for the better, which the people of this country aren't always ready
|
|
for. For instance, at my inaugural speech in front of Congress, I proposed
|
|
a plan for national improvements, such as highways, universities, and
|
|
weather stations. They didn't buy into it, but I have a feeling they will
|
|
realize one day that it needs to be done, but it's a shame not I don't
|
|
think they will in my lifetime. If I had my life to do over again, I would
|
|
probably not have appointed Henry Clay as Secretary of State. As much of a
|
|
dear friend he is, it caused much trouble throughout my political life. The
|
|
accusations started the minute I appointed him. I feel I deserve credit
|
|
for helping to set this country on the right path towards freedom,
|
|
prosperity, and loyalty to the country. Although they might not appreciate
|
|
it now, I'm confident future generations will follow my lead to make this
|
|
country the best it can be. For this generation I can offer this; Once you
|
|
set your goals, never give up. I had numerous jobs as minister and
|
|
ambassadors to many different countries before I finally won the election
|
|
to become the President. The path I traveled wasn't easy, but I believe my
|
|
hard work paid off. If I were alive today I would probably take revenge on
|
|
all those crooked politicians I've been hearing about who take bribes and
|
|
shred confidential documents. They deteriorate the fabric this country was
|
|
built on, and it will be a long time before it is fully repaired.
