“John Quincy Adams and his Inaugural Address”
John Quincy Adams was and independent man of puritanical order and a brilliant background on foreign affairs. Adams, son of the late John Adams, was known for being short-tempered, satiric, and indiscreet. ... Henry Clay, one of the four candidates in 1824, threw his support to Adams in the House on February 1825, after holding secret conferences with Adams, thus electing Adams on the first ballot. ... ” Clay had put Adams into the White House in order to become his secretary of state and successor. Exceptionally principled, Adams did not stoop to backslapping politics, so he was beat by Andrew Jackson, who served only one term. John Quincy Adams, like his father, John Adams, failed to win a second term. ...
Adams opened his speech by pledging to be faithful, upholding the Federal Constitution, and following by the example of his predecessors in the presidency which he is about to enter.
