If only I could meet him, learn how he handled the stress it must have taken, understand his wisdom, and to always think before acting. Philosopher, politician, lawyer, diplomat, and patriot, John Adams was a true hero. He was the true leader for independence during the Revolutionary War. He was a delagate to the first and second Continental Congress, Vice President of the United States for two terms, and soon after, President. He didn't want war but knew that it may be the only choice to save his country from being ruled. What a strong and independent character? He was a man with many morals and a well thought out mind. A quote from John Adams says; "A desire to be observed, considered, esteemed, praised, beloved and admired by his fellows is one of the keenest dispositions discovered in the heart of man."
Ana, I like the look of your blog. What would you ask John Adams? The letters between he and his wife are famous for their love affair, plus also their insight into the activities of the time period. If you ever get the chance, try to read some of those letters. They truly are inspiring.
