Jay Cost Residency: The Founding in Perspective — John and Abigail Adams

Nobody played a bigger role than John Adams during the early days of the Revolution, but by the 1780s he had become a man out-of-step with the times. Accused of having monarchist views, he was shunted aside into the vice presidency, where he lingered for eight years. When it was finally his turn to become president, he found he was a man without allies, except his brilliant and formidable wife, Abigail, who helped him craft the policies that would keep the United States out of war with the French.  

This event is part of "The Founding in Perspective: Visiting Speaker Week-in-Residency Series Examining 'The American Founding from the Perspective of Those Who Lived Through It'." The lectures examine the period from the perspective of each individual to appreciate the full complexity of the American Founding, the period in which the United States established a new constitutional order.  

Registrants are welcome but not required to attend all events to enjoy and learn from the individual lectures.  

This is a Brock Institute Event.
