Obituary for John Adams
Created | Updated Dec 14, 2007
President John Adams, 90. Massachusetts resident John Adams died July 4th, 1826, at his home in Quincy, Massachusetts. Burial took place at the United First Parish Church. Mr. Adams was born October 30th, 1735 in Quincy, Massachusetts to John Adams. He graduated from Harvard College in 1755. He married Abigail Adams on 1764 in Weymouth, Massachusetts. He had five children, including Abigail, John, Susanna, Charles, and Thomas.
Mr. Adams was a federalist, and, for that matter, one of the worst of the lot. He is famously known for his being the inspiration for Benjamin Franklin’s, a close companion of his, famous phrase, “A good federalist is one that has just lost a duel.” Adams is remembered as obnoxious and disliked and almost all politicians of his time were either against his ideas, or not for them. He was also a very stubborn person. His very last feat in life was to outlive Thomas Jefferson, a political rival, by just a few hours, which, in politics, means all the difference. He was so unlikable that it took almost two centuries for someone to write him a decent obituary.
Mr. Adams, of course, was a lawyer, which explains most of the last paragraph. He served as George Washington’s Vice President, and the first one at that, from 1789-1797. He served as the second President of the United States from 1797-1801. During his presidency he passed the Naturalization Act, the Aliens Act, and the Sedition Act, by which he managed to be the first President to abuse immigrants, which, as anyone who has lived on Earth would know, is not an easy thing to accomplish, even if this was in 19th century.
In his spare time, Mr. Adams enjoys, or would enjoy if he was not a) such a fad-faced, pessimistic, lawyer, and b) dead, being a character in the popular musical, “1776.” Due either to a miscalculation in the course of a faulty time machine or just normal nearsightedness, “1776” wasn’t actually composed in 1776.
Mr. Adams will be, or already is, remembered for stubbornness, his presidency, and the independence of America, which he pulled off by not agreeing to anything, which might explain why he was a talented lawyer, but doesn’t.
