Given that you kind of have to disqualify all the slavers, whatever their other virtues, it's like...
Obama, Jimmy, Harry... honestly maybe Hoover and/or Harding lol, they were just in over their heads... Garfield, Grant in his own way, Abe obviously, then JQA and that's it???

Now I am imagining a "debate" between JQA, Jackson, Clay, Crawford and Calhoun.
That would have been... something.

Marcus Rediker's book about the Amistad rebellion and the aftermath is fantastic, not least for the frank admiration in which he - a leftist historian of the 20th/21st century - holds JQA, a 19th century capital L Liberal

Just got the list of the 2025 titles from @libraryofamerica.bsky.social sooooo excited. I am looking forward to the JQA volume and the two volume American short story collection the most.

One thing I wish former Presidents would take from JQA, and from Carter for that matter, is that public service doesn't end when you leave the Presidency. Like Carter, Adams had a titanic post-Presidency. Clinton and Obama should take notes.

Agreed, Reagan and Teddy are massively overrated
JQA might be the least bad person to be president, or Ford/Obama

Well, a diplomatic win, in that despite having our butts kicked at Detroit by Brock (even though upper Canada should've been a cakewalk), JQA convinced them to return to the status quo ante, presumably because France was the big worry, but still.

3) Literally Fought the Opposition
JQA was the first U.S. president to deal with a "very" hostile Congress. The “anti-Adams” coalition included three distinct groups: Jacksonians, Crawfordites, Calhounites”.
With a nod to foreshadowing that’s still *very* with us, all hailed from the South. (5/7)
