About this episode
John Quincy Adams didn't just share a name with his father. He also followed in his footsteps to take the Presidency, and then lose it after one term.
In this episode of our series on the Presidencies of the United States, we're onto the sixth commander-in-chief.
Don is joined once again by Christopher Young. Chris is a Professor of History at Indiana University Northwest and among his many publications wrote “Serenading the President: John Adams, the XYZ Affair, and the 18th-Century American Presidency” for Federal History.
Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Siobhan Dale. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
