John Adams Comes of Age
John Adams, one of America’s greatest Patriots, played an important role in allowing America to gain its independence from England. His upbringing in a Puritan home had tremendous impact on his fine character and straightforward manner so frequently displayed throughout his life.
Tom Hand, creator and publisher of Americana Corner, discusses John Adams’ childhood, his choice of profession and eventual marriage to Abigail Adams, and why it still matters today.
