As a student of history, I enjoy reading biographies, because the life of a person prominent in historical events, sheds light on those events themselves. This biography of John Quincy Adams is a very thorough chronology of, not only his life, but also the early history of the United States from its founding, through the political events leading up until the Civil War. The book covers the things that shaped his beliefs, from being a son of a founding father and 2nd President, representing the new country as an ambassador, Secretary of State, Senator, then serving as the 6th President. He then gained most of his fame and influence serving as a member of the House of Representatives, and fighting against the institution of slavery. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
