Biography

John Quincy Adams was the sixth President of the United States (1825–1829). He was also an 
American diplomat and served in both the Senate and House of Representatives. He was a member 
of the Federalist, Democratic-Republican, National Republican, and later Anti-Masonic and Whig
 parties. Adams was the son of President John Adams and Abigail Adams. The name "Quincy" came
 from Abigail's maternal grandfather, Colonel John Quincy, after whom Quincy, Massachusetts, is 
named. As a diplomat, Adams was involved in many international negotiations, and helped formulate 
the Monroe Doctrine as Secretary of State. Historians agree he was one of the great diplomats in 
American history.
