Introduction to John Adams:
John Adams (October 30, 1735-July 4, 1826) was the first Vice President of the United States (1789- 1797), and later succeeded George Washington as the second president of the United States (1797-1801). At the same time, Adams was also the first U.S. president to be sworn in by the attorney general.
He was a member of the committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence formed by Thomas Jefferson. Known as the "Giant of American Independence." Adams was the first Vice President of the United States and was later elected President (1797-1801). Since he had no significant achievements in domestic affairs or foreign affairs during his tenure, he was defeated by Thomas Jefferson when he ran for president in 1800. Adams died on July 4, 1826.
John Adams was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and is regarded by Americans as one of the most important founding fathers, along with Washington, Jefferson and Franklin. His eldest son, John Quincy Adams, was later elected as the 6th President of the United States.
