The founding father of the U.S. Empire, John Adams, the first vice president and the second president, is really shameless and not well-known.
Washington, with dignity and dignity, a natural commander of the armed forces and national leader;
Jefferson, a veteran British nobleman, literary talent, erudite and talented, outstanding in more than a dozen academic fields;
Hamilton, with great foresight and grand strategy, has not only been a shadow president for more than ten years, but his policy still has a legacy to this day;
Franklin was a scheming man who spent time and wine in science, diplomacy, postal services, picking up girls, money printing and many other fields.
John Adams, born in a farm, has no talent, short stature, half-bald head, stubborn temperament, grumpy, very happy, unreasonable, mediocre political achievements, and he is not good at running the family and the country. Isn’t it strange to be among the fathers of the American Empire at the same time as the above?
However, the sea crossed the river, showing the true qualities of a hero. Adams's greatest strength is to hold the center and keep upright and unwavering.
In the famous "Boston Massacre" incident, he resisted the curses and threats of the people of the whole city, and he smashed his cocoons in the court, and finally recovered the truth: a few British soldiers standing guard held wooden sticks and hundreds of people in their hands. The snowball people were extremely nervous and they misheard the provocative sound of "shooting" from the crowd. Without the commander's order, they opened fire without authorization, resulting in the death of seven people. The court ruled that the British soldiers were not guilty.
In the Continental Congress, Franklin himself watched and wandered, but he encouraged Adams to charge forward and tried his best to persuade the thirteen states to unite.
When he was on a mission to Europe, he was neither humble nor overbearing. When the French ridiculed him for not knowing literature and art, he said: "I need to learn military and politics, and my son has to learn sailing and trade, so that my grandchildren can learn. Literature, sculpture, music, and painting.” Although he suffered repeated setbacks in the frivolous and flamboyant French court, he eventually won the aid of the Netherlands and the recognition of the British king.
During the French Revolution, it resisted the calls from all over the country to support the French Revolution, and firmly kept the weak and weak United States out of the European war.
In the party fight with Hamilton and Jefferson, although he had a strong desire for power and a strong vanity, he still gave in at all times and focused on the overall situation, avoiding the division of the new United States.
The son-in-law asked him to turn a deaf ear, causing the son-in-law to leave in anger. The daughter had been living as a widow for many years. When the son-in-law returned home, she had died of cancer.
In his later years, I went to visit the paintings commemorating the Continental Congress and scolded the painter: "At that time, the war was raging, and the representatives were in a hurry. When everyone came to the conference room, they signed the Declaration of Independence. They had never gathered together and signed one by one. Modern European History It's already in chaos. Is it necessary to make modern American history full of lies?"
This is the story of an ordinary person with ordinary talents, with self-control and tenacity, unwilling to move with things, unwilling to compromise, and finally rank among the great men.
The American War of Independence was an era when heroes emerged in large numbers and hurriedly advanced. Adams was the bleakest star in the age group, but no one could ignore its existence anyway.
