John Adams (October 30, 1735 – July 4, 1826) was an American statesman, diplomat and political theorist. A leading champion of independence in 1776, he was the first Vice President and second President of the United States (1797–1801). A New England Yankee, he was deeply read and represented enlightenment values promoting republicanism. A conservative Federalist, he was one of the most influential Founding Fathers of the United States.
Adams came to prominence in the early stages of the American Revolution. As a delegate from Massachusetts to the Continental Congress, he played a leading role in persuading Congress to declare independence, he selected and assisted Thomas Jefferson in drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. One of his greatest roles was as a judge of character: in 1775, he nominated George Washington to be commander in chief of the Continental Army.
