He lost many battles, but led the American army to final victory at Yorktown, Virginia. After he became President, he successfully solved many problems in turning the plans of the Constitution into a working government.
John Adams: A Chronology of His Life and CareerJohn Adams: A Chronology of His Life and Career John Adams seldom achieved popularity during his long political career. His bluntness, impatience, and vanity made him more enemies than friends. On the great decisions of his public career, history has proved him right and his opponents wrong. But his clumsiness in human relations often caused him to be misunderstood. Despite those shortcomings, John Adams was indeed a very important figure in the history of the United States.
Louisiana PurchaseThe Louisiana Purchase was the most important event of Jefferson's administration. In this transaction, the United States bought 827,987 square miles of land from France for about $15 million. Eventually all or parts of 15 states were formed out of the region.
