The United States in the Time of John Quincy Adams

This is a short, 11,000 word survey of the events of the John Quincy Adams Administration. Segments include the Opening of the Erie Canal, the Anti-Mason Party, The Greek Revolution and the Tariff of Abominations. John Quincy Adams is the only president who knew he would not be reelected on the day he was elected. Jackson was the most popular man in 1824 but Adams had more political clout. That would not hold out for the next election and everyone pretty much knew it. Jax waited four years for what he knew was rightfully waiting for him in 28.
