约翰亚当斯在进入政治领域之前，扮演的角色是老师跟律师，他是美国第二位总统，亚当斯的全然政治独立、聪颖与爱国的热情，是他最知名的特质。在成为美国首任副总统之前、他是大陆会议（Continental Congress）的领导人，也是重要的外交人物，接着他担任了一个任期的美国总统、其后在1800年的总统选举将总统之位拱手让给汤玛士杰夫森（Thomas Jefferson），汤玛士也是约翰亚当斯的长期好友与政治敌手。
约翰亚当斯和太太阿比盖尔亚当斯（Abigail Adams）共度了54年的岁月，她也是亚当斯最好的伙伴、最需要的伙伴，在他长期离家的期间，协助亚当斯记录许多美国建国的重要事件；另一位美国总统约翰昆西亚当斯（John Quincy Adams）则是约翰亚当斯夫妇的儿子。您知道美国总统中还有哪些父子档吗？
John Adams worked as a teacher and lawyer before dedicating himself to a life of patriotism and politics. He was America's second president. Adams was well known for his extreme political independence, brilliant mind and passionate patriotism. He was a leader in the Continental Congress and an important diplomatic figure, before becoming America's first vice president. Adams then served one term as president but lost the election of 1800 to Thomas Jefferson, his longtime friend and political rival.
Also dear to John Adams was his wife and partner of 54 years, Abigail Adams. She was a gifted intellectual who corresponded with her husband during his long absences from home, chronicling many important events of America's founding. John and Abigail Adams were the parents of another U.S. president, John Quincy Adams. Do you know how many other fathers and their sons have both been president?
