About Me
I was born on October 30 1735. My father was John Adams sr. was a farmer, congregationalist deacon, and a town councilman. My father was a direct descendant of a puritan named Henry Adam. My mother was a descendant of the Boylstons of Brookline a prominent family in the colony of Massachusetts. I went to college at Harvard and I got my undergraduate degree. In 1758 I was admitted to the bar. I was asked to join the first continental congress in 1774.I made many friend when we met up at the first continental congress like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Sherman and many others.

When they asked me to help them draft the Declaration of independence I was surprised. As you know I was with many of my friends like George Washington, Benjamin franklin, and Robert Sherman. We had to agree with many things like what rights we wanted and how we wanted the rights. After we drafted the Declaration of independence and it was approved I had to go with the crew that was sent to negotiate the Declaration of independence which at that time it was called the Treaty of Paris. Once the Treaty of Paris was signed I decided to stay at Europe for a few years. I decided to help arrange treaties. In 1785 I became the first U.S minister of Europe.

In 1788 I went back home and decided to be placed in a ballot for a presidential candidate. When the presidential candidate it was George Washington. I was mad but them he choose me to be his vice president. I decided to join many of the presidential candidate positions but I kept on losing but then In 1796 I joined the presidential candidate position and won. I had a war to deal with when I had gotten into office. It was the French and British war. I tried negotiating with them but it did not work. The french tried to declare war but I did not want war so I denied. In 1800 the undeclared war ended and he had to run for re-election but he did not win Thomas Jefferson won.
