Web. 19 Sept

Inaugural Address Adams addresses the issues of the current day References the Revolutionary War Spends the majority of the speech talking about the Constitution Highlights the sense of community as it trumps the sense of self Key words: – Government – Constitution – Election – Union

The Power of Celebrity He is remembered for his affective rhetoric of pity, oversight, and love (Giles) He is referenced along with his colleagues Known as a “Founding Father” Unpopular Policy Maker Image among constituents

Leaving a Legacy “…[Adams] followed a philosophy of republican virtue that demanded a sacrifice of private interest in the pursuit of the larger public good” (Farrell) Wrote letters to prompt public recognition of his accomplishments Afraid that his name would not hold historical significance and wrote statements as if to reverse that legacy

Discussion Questions 1. Why is John Adams one of the least remembered presidents? Does it have to do with his predecessor and successor in office? 2. What was his most lasting impression? Will he be remembered for the popular or unpopular policies of his administration?
