John Adams once wrote, "People and nations are forged in the fires of adversity." That was very much Adams' experience. Although he was often maligned, he didn't deserve it. Having been born in the English colony of Massachusetts in 1735, he not only witnessed a new nation emerging from the shell of infancy, but he also participated in its growing pains. Adams was a man who was frequently asked to assume roles in which he had little experience, like that of a diplomat to France and England. In a sense, he was a part of the vanguard that the government had thrown into the fray.
But why would the government choose him to represent their interests? Perhaps the main reason was that John Adams was a lawyer and understood the legal significance of treaties and agreements. He was also a simple and objective man who knew how to get to the heart of an issue in quick order. However, the French and British were confused by his direct approach. They preferred charm decorated with solicitousness and obsequiousness, and Adams often had to tread water. Even his wife was criticized because her gowns weren't up to the standards of the nobility she encountered there. The one quality he had that aided him well during these times was the fact that he was tough and not easily discouraged. He threw all his energy into a task in order to serve his country.
Despite some of the controversial policies that John Adams enacted, he was a president that guided the young country of the United States to its feet. It is to his credit that he was able to maintain neutrality while Europe waged yet another war. With the country still in its nascent stages, the country would have floundered under such a heavy debt and perhaps would have never become what it is today.
