The Life and Times of Congressman John Quincy Adams

Bok av Leonard L. Richards
Richards' study presents not only a vivid portrait of John Quincy Adams but also provides an insightful exploration of American politics in the 1830s and 1840s. Examining one of the few presidents who sustained a political career after his term in the White House, Richards focuses on Adams' role in the Abolitionist Movement during his outstanding congressional career.
