john adams. i think there are a couple of letters from john adams that will be out. and the thing that i didn't know that we had was we will have a copy of a book that john adams actually gave the boston athenaeum in 1818. so some very fun things to go see. this is actually the great treat about being the director of the atheneum is i actually am constantly surprised by what we have in our collections. so tonight we are in for a very interesting conversation between dr. lindsay chervinsky and dr. catherine al gore, and they'll be discussing dr. drew pinsky, his latest book making the presidency. john adams and the precedents that forged the republic. and this book really focuses on john adams, who had the truly unenviable task of following george washington to become the second president of the united states. and he became president in a moment of enormous challenge for a brand new country that still had fairly tentative institutions. and dr. trevaskis will share with us tonight her thoughts on john adams leadership and his legacy. dr. stravinsky is a historian in an

john adams you know, even though washington, i think, liked john adams the office, if we thought the office of the presidency didn't have much, you know, spelled out there, there wasn't a much to it that, you know, really washington had to sort of build off of what was there and invent all different things around the presidency. well, then the vice presidency had even less. i mean, really sort of the only thing that's called out in the constitution is presiding over the senate. and and, you know, in the event of a tie that they they cast the deciding vote. i mean, that's really sort of how presidents made their mark. and even john adams himself, there's a quote where he talks about how, you know, man has invented what he thinks is probably one of the most pointless offices ever imagined. and so, you know, adams himself realizes that the vice presidency doesn't doesn't have a whole lot of authority, doesn't have well-defined responsibilities. aside from presiding over the senate. and so really at this point in time, and for most of american history, that is how vice presidents functio

so another testimony to the character of john adams, but john adams, if you will, the first presidential or soon to be president, who realized what a special place vineyard was. then in. vineyard was sort of kept in the background. it was still a pretty rural area at that time. but in august of 1874, ulysses grant actually took an official vacation at the campground cottage, which all of you know, still exists today. and part of our vineyard tradition. and he was accompanied by wife julia. he arrived at oak bluffs via the steamboat river queen, and he summered at the bishop haven cottage on clinton avenue and clinton avenue, as any you who live in oak bluffs knows still exists. so that cottage area is still very much a part of the martha's vineyard fabric. and this is a picture of him on the balcony of that cottage. in. didn't go where he wanted. in september 1882, president chester alan arthur actually to the vineyard to go fishing certainly a tradition that is still continued to this day. anyone who's followed the fishing derby that's taken place and he went fishing menemsha and he arr

john adams, samuel adams, george believed that there should continue to be at least at state level a, role for the state, promoting the interests religion, hopefully not persecute anyone but, promoting the interests of. and it was widely assumed it would be some christian protestant denomination would would be the denomination that received favorable treatment. but there were others, madison and jefferson most obviously who believed that religion and christianity would do better and flourish better if there was no state involvement, and that that was coming from traditions of the enlightened that was that arguing for religious people like john locke. but it was also coming from. the council of religious dissenter in the american going back to people like roger williams, the founder of rhode and in the revolutionary era. it was definitely coming from baptists who had been persecuted by many of the state churches, especially early in places like virginia and massachusetts and the baptists were sort of, you know, the the most fervent evangelicals can imagine. and they were adamant that t

john adams, who was the first vice president observed that politicians, quote, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can security dissh securely stand. [applause] now that is an important lesson for any law making er but i am here this morning to reflect not only on the words of our founders but those of their own intellectual forebearers the classic fathers to christianity. and i know we have people of every faith here, but i think it is a conceit of modern society that religious freedom is a religious concept but religious freedoms flows from christian faith, the free will of human beings and dignity of all peoples. we find its ten in the events with christ famous instruction to render unto caesar which is caesars and that which is god is god's. and persecution that stand at the hands of oppressors. and it weighed on apologists and reacting to the persecution of the third century early father published a letter to the roman council and practicing his or her faith and quoting, only just and a pr

the states, as john adams said, take the lead. and that is just one of many examples.to remind you that not everything being claimed, hypocritically or otherwise, has the half life of another campaign cycle and some of what is in the constitution, even though it has become almost automatic or trendy to criticize so much of our history, and we've done it here on this program, i know why we do it, but some of those rules in the constitution were thought out because they had seen the abuse of power before, and it's axiomatic and understood that elections would sometimes, again, re anoint people who might abuse that federal power. it is precisely because they saw, if not this example and this name, but this prospect of this threat, that they divided the powers among the federal branches and divided them yet again among the states. it's one good idea that lives on today, and that will be a big part of the pushback to efforts to abuse the constitution and federal power this year and in these years to come. with that historical perspective in mind, we've invited eugene robins

it was andrew jackson versus john quincy adams. andrew jackson, 199 electoral votes and 151,000 votes in the popular vote. john quincy adams received 84 electoral votes and 113,000 votes and received only 30.9% of the popula vote. t john quincy adams became president. what happened? it's a complicated election, so i'll try to to briefly give you an overview. so in the 1824 election, there were no competing political parties. there was one political party, which was the old jeffersonian republican party. they were calling themselves national republicans many times at this point. and so you have that national republic and party, that former jeffersonian coalition really breaking up into different factions based on personalities. so you have jackson, of course, henry clay, who was speaker of the house, who runs as a candidate. william h. crawford, who's secretary the treasury. and then john quincy adams, who was the secretary of state under james madison. sorry, under james monroe. so you have really four major competitors for the pres

early supreme court cases, marbury versus madison, was a question about the the appointments that john adams making in the final days of his presidency. this whole notion of the spoils system to the victors, the spoils, comes from andrew jackson, one of president trump's presidential heroes, who, when he came into the white house, he sacked about 10% of the federal workforce, including hundreds and hundreds of post office officers, because they weren't democrats. so there is a long tradition of that. but the difference today is the federal government does so much more than it used to in the 19th century that its policy scope is so much broader. and so this isn't just a question of, you know, you know, who's running a particular post office in a particular county in kentucky. you know, this, this, this has implications for people's lives. people are depending both in the united states and around the world on these federal programs. and actually, i think there is a lot of damage that the president can do to these agencies. the courts will be able to step in, but i think it's not going to be th
