S1E12 - Is John Quincy Adams a window into our own souls? A product of overbearing parents, John and Abigail Adams, JQA had a lackluster presidency but a truly extraordinary life. He was a well-traveled prodigy child, an aspiring poet, translator of German literature, hobby gardener, metric-system enthusiast, fierce abolitionist, HATER of Andrew Jackson, celebrated orator, statesman, and the only president to serve in the House of Representatives after his presidency. We love him, and if you love a TRUE public servant, then you will too! Email pardonme.presidentialpod@gmail.com to contact us or issue corrections (with sources, please).

Over 200 years ago, then-U.S. Secretary of State John Quincy Adams warned how overseas militarism, even in the name of liberty, could change the very nature of the republic: "She (America) well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force." So how was JQA so prescient? We talk to author and president of the John Quincy Adams Society David Hendrickson about his new book and how these "maxims" have gone so far off the rails in today's foreign policy. In our first segment, Kelley and Dan talk about U.S.-trained commandos fighting for Russia, the dead JCPOA deal, B-52s in Australia, and more under-the-radar headlines.More from Hendrickson:Freedom, Independence, Peace: John Quincy Adams and American Foreign Policy (2022)Europe's energy disaster -- The American Conservative, 9/13/22Why this economic war on Russia breaks all the rules of the game -- Responsible Statecraft, 3/23/22 This is a public episode.

We move from one political dynasty to another with the first child of a former to become president themselves 1825. John Quincy Adams was made fully aware from his parents that he had all of the advantages and privileges in the world, and because of that he had no reason to not excel as an exceptional public servant. JQA excelled in almost every political office he was elected/appointed to, leading to a political career that was longer and more successful than even his father. The only political office in which he struggled to thrive under, however, was the presidency. As a brilliant but stubborn and uncompromising man (again, much like his father), along with a controversial election that gave him the presidency – JQA became one of the most ineffective presidents of his era, as he was shut out of enacting any of his agenda from Congress. Andrew Jackson showcased what was to come, as the Democratic Party was formed and quickly became popular enough to compete in Congressional seats throughout the country. JQA unfortunately serves as a disappointing bridge from the founders era into the next 9 presidents that do little to stop the nation from heading towards a Civil War.

America's sixth president is widely seen as one of the country's greatest diplomats. Phrases like "[America] goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy" remain in our lexicon. Territorial acquisitions he negotiated from Spain include the state of Florida and access to the West Coast. His deft diplomacy helped secure American interests during the massive wars after the French Revolution, the independence of Spain's Latin American colonies, and the rise of the Holy Alliance. The Monroe Doctrine he was central in crafting defined U.S. relations with the Western Hemisphere for the remainder of the nineteenth century. Many in today's foreign policy debate seek to take up Adams' legacy. Organizations like the John Quincy Adams Society and the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft have taken him as their eponym, arguing that he counseled a position of restraint in U.S. foreign policy - a general avoidance of involving America in disputes abroad - and that he would oppose today's more expansive conception of U.S. foreign policy needs. Critics hold that this misreads Adams' legacy: that Adams displayed a comfort with the use of American power globally and in harmony with American ideals that is in conflict with the restrainers' vision. Who is right? Join the Society and its Westminster College chapter for a debate on JQA, his foreign policy, and its implications for today. John Allen Gay of the John Quincy Adams Society will hold that organizations like his own are indeed the rightful heirs of Adams' legacy. Mike Watson of the Hudson Institute will counter. Tobias Gibson of Westminster College moderates.

James J. Hamilton and Stephen Lincoln-Douglas count down the Top 5 Most Athletic Presidents and delve into the life of John Quincy Adams. JQA had among the most distinguished pre-presidential and post-presidential careers, but his presidency is another story. The episode closes with a special treat: one of JQA's poems turned into a gangsta rap by the Constitutionalists.
My Fellow Americans: The Inaugural Addresses of the U.S. Presidents
John Quincy Adams delivered his inaugural address on March 4th, 1825. Read by Carl Malamud (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Malamud), president and founder of Public.Resource.Org. Like his father, John Adams, JQA served a single term. This presidential election saw four different candidates run, including Henry Clay (one of the front-runners who later supported JQA's run) and Andrew Jackson (who called Clay's support a “corrupt bargain” after Clay was named Secretary of Sate). JQA would lose his 2nd run to Andrew Jackson, the first president not be a Founding Father, or related to one. The cover art is an 1858 portrait of John Quincy Adams by George Peter Alexander Healy.

In this lecture, Dr. Totten argues the closely contested election of 1824, led to a widely disparaged administration under John Quincy Adams. Supporters of Andrew Jackson, called Jacksonians and later termed Democrats, viewed the effort of Henry Clay to swing the contest in JQA's favor as outright theft. As a result, JQA's administration suffered from lack of support, even from his own Vice President, John C. Calhoun. While JQA is the greatest Secretary of State in U.S. history, his presidency was largely ineffective in passing his programs. The election of 1828, which was highly rancorous, ushered in a new era of American politics. Due to the removal of property requirements, white males voted in great numbers, which routinely reached 80-90% of the eligible electorate. In addition, a new political party, The Democratic Party, was founded, and its name sake, which bears little resemblance to its 19th century counterpart, lives on to this day. Finally, new methods of electioneering were adopted, which combined policy with revelry to achieve this massive participation.

Historian and prolific author Dr. Andrew Burstein discusses the book, he co-authored with Dr. Nancy Isenberg, on John Adams and John Quincy Adams. He describes the problems that both Adams had with the two-party system that developed in the early days of the Republic. He details the historic events that John Adams and John Quincy Adams were involved in and how that impacted their philosophy. Dr. Burstein explains the fear JA and JQA had with the development of the cult of personality surrounding Ben Franklin, George Washington, and Andrew Jackson which they considered a real threat to American democracy. He describes the challenges that both John Adams and John Quincy Adams had as president and the combative political environment that developed. He finishes with a perspective on the basic principles that defined Adamsian Democracy.HOST: Rob MellonFEATURED BREW: Sam 76', Samuel Adams, Boston, MABOOK: The Problem of Democracy: The Presidents Adams Confront the Cult of Personalityhttps://www.amazon.com/Problem-Democracy-Presidents-Confront-Personality/dp/0525557504MUSIC: Bones Forkhttps://bonesfork.com/

Speaking of sexy - This week we're balls deep in JQA, RFK, & Chappaquiddick - Naya talkin'!
Like his father in so many ways, JQA was a man of immense talents, a statesman of vast achievements, a brilliant political mind, and -- like his father -- a one-term president. JQA may, still, be the most qualified person ever to reach the presidency. And yet from the outset, his presidency was a failure. His political angling to get the presidency, the so-called “Corrupt Bargain” between Adams and fourth-place finisher Henry Clay, pitched Adams into the presidency via the House of Representatives. Even though this conformed to the formal constitutional method of selection, it offended the political sensibilities of most Americans and limited Adams’s effectiveness. Jay and Luke trace Adams’s policy priorities, his role in advancing what became the American System, and how his administration paved the way for the Jacksonian era.

The Way of Improvement Leads Home: American History, Religion, Politics, and Academic life.
Don't be confused by the title, we are not talking about the spooky family from the 1960s. Rather, in this episode, we turn to the religious history of one of America's founding families. By focusing on the Adams family, one can trace the evolution of American religion as John, Abigail, JQA, and others wrestle with Providence, the Enlightenment, and a changing political landscape. Host John Fea and producer Drew Dyrli Hermeling are joined by Sara Georgini (@sarageorgini), the author of Household Gods: The Religious Lives of the Adams Family.

It’s not easy when your father is one of the most important men in the (albeit short) history of your country. There is a lot of pressure on young JQA to get it right. So after learning all the languages, and understanding Milton and getting to (ahem) know the locals in Sweden, he is hoping his life will get on track. If only he could sort his handwriting out…
Lots of people have given John Quincy Adams the title of America's greatest diplomat. But could he negotiate his way to the title of America's funniest president?
