John Quincy Adams
John Quincy Adams (
i/ˈkwɪnzi/; July 11, 1767 – February 23, 1848) was an American statesman who served as the sixth President of the United States from 1825 to 1829. He also served as a diplomat, a Senator and member of the House of Representatives. He was a member of the Federalist, Democratic-Republican, National Republican, and later Anti-Masonic and Whig parties.
In his biography, Samuel Flagg Bemis argues that Adams was able to "gather together, formulate, and practice the fundamentals of American foreign-policy – self-determination, independence, noncolonization, nonintervention, nonentanglement in European politics, Freedom of the Seas, [and] freedom of commerce."
John Quincy Adams was the son of President John Adams and Abigail Adams. As a diplomat, Adams played an important role in negotiating key treaties, most notably the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812. As Secretary of State, he negotiated with Britain over the United States' northern border with Canada, negotiated with Spain the annexation of Florida, and drafted the Monroe Doctrine. Historians agree he was one of the greatest diplomats and secretaries of state in American history.

John Quincy Adams II
John Quincy Adams II (September 22, 1833 – August 14, 1894) was an American lawyer and politician.
Biography
Adams was the son of Charles Francis Adams and Abigail Brown Brooks, the grandson and namesake of president John Quincy Adams and the great-grandson of President John Adams. He graduated from Harvard University in 1853, studied law, attained admission to the bar, and practiced in Boston. He later established an experimental model farm near Quincy, Massachusetts. Adams married Frances (Fanny) Cadwalader Crowninshield (1839–1911), daughter of George (1812–1857) and Harriet Sears Crowninshield (1809–1873) of the politically powerful Crowninshield family.
During the Civil War he served on the staff of Governor John Andrew with the rank of Colonel.
Adams served in several local offices in Quincy, including town meeting moderator, school board chairman and judge of the local court. He was elected to the Massachusetts state legislature as a Republican, but soon switched to the Democratic Party because of his disaffection with Republican Reconstruction policies. In addition to serving in the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1865, 1867, 1870 and 1873, he was the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for Governor of Massachusetts every year from 1867 to 1871. In 1873 he was the unsuccessful nominee for lieutenant governor.

Quincy Adams (MBTA station)
Quincy Adams is a rapid transit station on the Braintree Branch of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Red Line, located in the southern part of Quincy, Massachusetts. The station features a large park and ride garage, with space for 2,538 automobiles, built over the station tracks and platforms. It is located on the Burgin Parkway, with convenient access from Route 3 and Interstate 93 near the Braintree Split. It is fully wheelchair accessible.
History
Old Colony Railroad
The Old Colony Railroad had a Quincy Adams station at Water Street, named for President John Quincy Adams who was born nearby. The 1926 Report on Improved Transportation Facilities and 1945-47 Coolidge Commission Report recommended the Cambridge-Dorchester Line receive a branch to Braintree along the Old Colony right-of-way. Quincy Adams station closed along with the rest of the Old Colony on June 30, 1959.
Red Line opening
The modern rapid transit station opened on September 10, 1983 as an infill station on the Braintree Branch. Quincy Adams had been scheduled to open along with Braintree (which opened on March 22, 1980), but construction delays caused opening to be three years late.

John Quincy
Colonel John Quincy (21 July 1689 – 13 July 1767) was an American soldier, politician and member of the Quincy political family. His granddaughter Abigail Adams named her son, John Quincy Adams, after him. The city of Quincy, Massachusetts is named after him.
Biography
John Quincy was born in Boston, Massachusetts to Daniel and Anna (née Shepard) Quincy. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Braintree, Massachusetts and established a homestead at Mount Wollaston, or Merry Mount, in what is present-day Quincy. Daniel died when John was one year old; his mother subsequently married the Reverend Moses Fiske.
Quincy attended Harvard College, graduating in 1708. He married Elizabeth Norton, daughter of the Reverend John Norton of Hingham, on 3 September 1715. Although officially only achieving the rank of major in the British army, he was commonly referred to as "Colonel".
In 1717, he was elected to represent Braintree at the Massachusetts General Court, was re-elected in 1719, and served in that capacity until 1740. From 1729 to 1741, he served as the Speaker of the House. In 1741, Quincy was voted out of office, but was returned there in 1744, where he served four additional years. He died on 13 July 1767 at the age of 77, only two days after the birth of his namesake, John Quincy Adams.

John Quincy (medical writer)
John Quincy (died 1722) was an English apothecary known as a medical writer.
Life
He was apprenticed to an apothecary, and afterwards practised medicine as an apothecary in London. He was a Dissenter and a Whig, a friend of Dr. Richard Mead, and an enemy of Dr. John Woodward. He studied mathematics and the philosophy of Isaac Newton. He died in 1722.
Works
He knew little of clinical medicine, and was only skilful in the arrangement of drugs in prescriptions. He considered dried millipedes good for tuberculous lymphatic glands, but thought the royal touch for scrofula superstitious. He received the degree of M.D. from the University of Edinburgh for his ‘Medicina Statica Britannica’ (1712), a translation of the ‘Aphorisms’ of Sanctorius, of which a second edition appeared in 1720. Joseph Collet, governor of Fort St. George, was one of his patrons, and Quincy printed in 1713 a laudatory poem on their common friend, the Rev. Joseph Stennett.
He published in 1717 a ‘Lexicon Physico-medicum,’ dedicated to John Montagu, 2nd Duke of Montagu, who had just been admitted a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London. It is based on the medical lexicon of Bartolomeo Castelli of Messina (died 1607), published at Basle in 1628, and went through eleven editions, of which the last two appeared respectively in 1794 and 1811 (greatly revised). His ‘English Dispensatory’ (1721), of which a fourth edition appeared in 1722 and a twelfth in 1749, contains a complete account of the materia medica and of therapeutics, and many of the prescriptions contained in it were popular.

James Traub is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine. He has written four books, including The Devils Playground and The Best Intentions (FSG, 2006). He lives in New York City.

Author James Traub visits Google's headquarters in Mountain View, CA, to discuss his book "The Freedom Agenda". This event took place on October 16, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.
The Freedom Agenda traces the history of Americas democratic evangelizing. James Traub describes the rise and fall of the Freedom Agenda during the Bush years, in part through interviews with key administration officials. He offers a richly detailed portrait of the administrations largely failed efforts to bolster democratic forces abroad. In the end, Traub argues that democracy matters—for human rights, for reconciliation among ethnic and religious groups, for political stability and equitable development—but the United States must exercise caution in its efforts to spread it, matching its deeds to its words, both abroad and at home.

Citing Ban Ki-Moon, James Traub says we need to choose a secretary general for his “confidence not for his harmlessness.”

James Traub:
James Traub is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, where he has worked since 1998. From 1994 to 1997, he was a staff writer for The New Yorker. He has also written for The New York Review of Books, Foreign Affairs, The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic and elsewhere. His articles have been widely reprinted and anthologized. He has written extensively about international affairs and especially the United Nations.
In recent years, he has reported from Iran, Iraq, Sierra Leone, East Timor, Vietnam, India, Kosovo and Haiti. He has also written often about national politics and urban affairs, including education, immigration, race, poverty and crime.
His books include, The Best Intentions: Kofi Annan and the UN in the Era of American World Power; The Devil's Playground: A Century of Pleasure and Profit in Times Square; City On A Hill, a book on open admissions at City College; and The Freedom Agenda: Why America Must Spread Democracy (Just Not the Way George Bush Did). He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

TRANSCRIPT:
James Traub: Well, I wrote “The Best Intentions” at an unbelievable low point in America and UN relations. It is an immediate period after Iraq and so forth and that things are better than they were. But I also think that UN has gotten marginalized in a lot of ways. Partially… You guys… So tell me when I should start talking again. Good. I also think that UN has gotten marginalized in a lot of ways and partially because of the Bush Administration. I think we sent an ambassador there, John Bolton, who was very hostile to the institution that reduce America’s own role there, America’s own standing there. We also had the chief hand in choosing the Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon. Now, Ban Ki-Moon is not quite two years into his 5-year term and it is possible that he will prove to be a more forceful figure than he has so far, but, certainly, the impression one gets is that the United States chose him ‘cause they thought he would be an inoffensive pro-American figure and that’s what he’s been. He’s been an inoffensive pro-American figure. But if we actually want the UN to matter, then we have to choose its Chief Executive for his confidence not for his harmlessness. And so, it’s just troubling that we have not sought to use this institution in the way that it can be used and I would hope that Obama will take it more seriously.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
James Traub: China wants what it calls a peaceful rise. That is to say China’s goal is to work out the enormous internal contradictions of the country. They grew a tremendous growth of wealth in urban areas, tremendous impoverishment immobility in rural areas and the fear of the political explosion that could cause. China’s goal is to work that stuff out in as quiet a setting as possible. They don’t want to cause international upset. They don’t want to get into public fights with the United States or anybody else for that matter. Nevertheless, their political values are profoundly different from ours. I don’t think we can have much expectation of changing China’s internal political culture. What I think is a really complicated challenge though is that China much more than Russia has a kind of exportable model. That is to say they too have something to promote, but it’s not democracy. It’s capitalist, it’s autocratic capitalism. Russia doesn’t feel that way because it doesn’t seem to have a system. What they have is a lot of oil, which just keeps their coffers refilled. China has no such inherent advantage. China has figured out a means of economic and social and political organization whereby they can be an incredible economic dynamo, but keep a lid on politically. Now, this is, of course, a tremendously appealing model, if you’re an autocrat in some impoverished third world country. And China goes around the world especially to resource rich countries and offers a kind of deal. You allow us to have a [wok] on your oil, a certain amount of your oil, so we have a guaranteed amount at a guaranteed price. We in turn will give you concessional loans and grants. You in turn will use those funds, turn around and pay Chinese construction and engineering companies to build your infrastructure. It’s a great deal from the point of view of the recipient countries. The only problem is that it cements in place these authoritarian political structures. And so, that’s a problem for the West not just for the United States, for other donors, for institutions like the World Bank and IMF, how do we come up with this efficiently appealing counteroffer? And that’s an ongoing problem.

James Traub's latest book is titled "True Believer: Hubert Humphrey's Quest for a More Just America." In the introduction, Mr. Traub writes: "I return to Humphrey in order to explain what liberalism was at its ascendant moment, why it mattered so much to so may people, why it abruptly lost its appeal to the majority of Americans – and, perhaps, how it might rejuvenate itself." Hubert Humphrey served as mayor of Minneapolis, United States Senator, Vice President of the United States under Lyndon Johnson, and a candidate for President in several years, including 1968.

In this wide-ranging conversation James Traub and Michael Shermer discuss:
• the changing meaning of “liberalism” over the centuries and decades
• why the first liberals were deeply skeptical of majority rule
• how, by the second half of the 20th century, liberalism become the national creed of the most powerful country in the world
• why this consensus did not last
• the giants of liberalism: James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Stuart Mill, Isiah Berlin
• Karl Popper, the Open Society, and the paradox of tolerance (that tolerating intolerance is self-defeating)
• Donald Trump as the first American president to regard liberal values with open contempt
• illiberalism in the UK, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Turkey, and Germany
• why liberalism lost the support it once enjoyed
• the intolerance of the illiberal left, identity politics, and political correctness
• what a potential future for liberalism would look like.
James Traub has spent the last forty years as a journalist for American’s leading publications, including the New Yorker and the New York Times magazine. He now teaches foreign policy and intellectual history at New York University and at NYU Abu Dhabi, and is a columnist and contributor at Foreign Policy. He is the author of six previous books on foreign and domestic affairs. His most recent work is John Quincy Adams: Militant Spirit. He lives in New York City.
This dialogue was recorded on October 1, 2019 as part of the Science Salon Podcast series hosted by Michael Shermer and presented by The Skeptics Society, in California.

Author James Traub visits Google's headquarters in Mountain View, CA, to discuss his book "The Freedom Agenda". This event took place on October 16, 2008, as part of the Authors@Google series.
The Freedom Agenda traces the history of Americas democratic evangelizing. James Traub describes the rise and fall of the Freedom Agenda during the Bush years, in part through interviews with key administration officials. He offers a richly detailed portrait of the administrations largely failed efforts to bolster democratic forces abroad. In the end, Traub argues that democracy matters—for human rights, for reconciliation among ethnic and religious groups, for political stability and equitable development—but the United States must exercise caution in its efforts to spread it, matching its deeds to its words, both abroad and at home.
James Traub is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine. He has written four books, including The Devils Playground and The Best Intentions (FSG, 2006). He lives in New York City.

Citing Ban Ki-Moon, James Traub says we need to choose a secretary general for his “confidence not for his harmlessness.”

James Traub is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, where he has worked since 1998. From 1994 to 1997, he was a staff writer for The New Yorker. He has also written for The New York Review of Books, Foreign Affairs, The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic and elsewhere. His articles have been widely reprinted and anthologized.

TRANSCRIPT:
James Traub: Well, I wrote “The Best Intentions” at an unbelievable low point in America and UN relations. It is an immediate period after Iraq and so forth and that things are better than they were. But I also think that UN has gotten marginalized in a lot of ways. Partially… You guys… So tell me when I should start talking again. Good. I also think that UN has gotten marginalized in a lot of ways and partially because of the Bush Administration. I think we sent an ambassador there, John Bolton, who was very hostile to the institution that reduce America’s own role there, America’s own standing there. We also had the chief hand in choosing the Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon. Now, Ban Ki-Moon is not quite two years into his 5-year term and it is possible that he will prove to be a more forceful figure than he has so far, but, certainly, the impression one gets is that the United States chose him ‘cause they thought he would be an inoffensive pro-American figure and that’s what he’s been. He’s been an inoffensive pro-American figure. But if we actually want the UN to matter, then we have to choose its Chief Executive for his confidence not for his harmlessness. And so, it’s just troubling that we have not sought to use this institution in the way that it can be used and I would hope that Obama will take it more seriously.

If you are an autocrat in the developing world, James Traub notes China offers an unbeatable deal.

TRANSCRIPT:
James Traub: China wants what it calls a peaceful rise. That is to say China’s goal is to work out the enormous internal contradictions of the country. They grew a tremendous growth of wealth in urban areas, tremendous impoverishment immobility in rural areas and the fear of the political explosion that could cause. China’s goal is to work that stuff out in as quiet a setting as possible. They don’t want to cause international upset. They don’t want to get into public fights with the United States or anybody else for that matter. Nevertheless, their political values are profoundly different from ours. I don’t think we can have much expectation of changing China’s internal political culture. What I think is a really complicated challenge though is that China much more than Russia has a kind of exportable model. That is to say they too have something to promote, but it’s not democracy. It’s capitalist, it’s autocratic capitalism. Russia doesn’t feel that way because it doesn’t seem to have a system. What they have is a lot of oil, which just keeps their coffers refilled. China has no such inherent advantage. China has figured out a means of economic and social and political organization whereby they can be an incredible economic dynamo, but keep a lid on politically. Now, this is, of course, a tremendously appealing model, if you’re an autocrat in some impoverished third world country. And China goes around the world especially to resource rich countries and offers a kind of deal. You allow us to have a [wok] on your oil, a certain amount of your oil, so we have a guaranteed amount at a guaranteed price. We in turn will give you concessional loans and grants. You in turn will use those funds, turn around and pay Chinese construction and engineering companies to build your infrastructure. It’s a great deal from the point of view of the recipient countries. The only problem is that it cements in place these authoritarian political structures. And so, that’s a problem for the West not just for the United States, for other donors, for institutions like the World Bank and IMF, how do we come up with this efficiently appealing counteroffer? And that’s an ongoing problem.

You know, the Bush family isn't the only one to have a father-son pair in office. The Adams family did it first! Adams Jr. was a busy bee even before taking office. And he also went back to Congress even after his presidency! What an odd duck, huh? Let's learn more about the fellow.

American history is so much more than dates and documents — it's the dynamic story of the real men and women, immigrants and Native Americans, who together built our country. Disney's The American Presidents is a fresh and relevant narrative (developed with a former producer of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report) about the men who led this country through change and the lives they affected, from an early idea of democracy, to our first African American President.
Each DVD includes short-form Presidential biographies, era overviews for historical context, and thematic segments such as The Making of the Presidency and We the People. The DVD content is based on National Curriculum Standards and features interviews with political luminaries such as Sam Donaldson, Wesley Clark, Paul Begala, Melissa Harris-Lacewell and many more. Try the interactive whiteboard content on every DVD — it's an exciting, competitive game that uses video clips, photographs and quotes to test students understanding of the Presidents, their political positions, and why they matter in the American story.

John Quincy Adams was the eldest son of President John Adams and the sixth president of the United States. In his pre-presidential years, Adams was one of America's greatest diplomats (formulating, among other things, what became the Monroe Doctrine); in his post-presidential years, he conducted a consistent and often dramatic fight against the expansion of slavery. Though full of promise, his presidential years were difficult. He died in 1848 in Washington, D.C
