Orations

By John Quincy Adams and John Quincy Adams

Book Overview

Orations by John Quincy Adams is a collection of speeches delivered by the sixth president of the United States during his long and distinguished career in politics. The book includes some of Adams' most famous speeches, such as his address on the Fourth of July in 1821, where he spoke about the importance of American independence and the role of the government in protecting the rights of citizens. Other speeches in the collection cover a wide range of topics, from foreign policy and diplomacy to education, religion, and the abolition of slavery. Adams was known for his eloquence and his ability to convey complex ideas in a clear and concise manner, and these speeches are a testament to his skills as a public speaker and statesman. The book provides valuable insights into the political and social issues of the time, as well as a glimpse into the mind of one of America's most respected and influential leaders.The incompetency of the Articles of Confederation for the management of the affairs of the Union at home and abroad was demonstrated to them by the painful and mortifying experience of every day. Washington, though in retirement, was brooding over the cruel injustice suffered by his associates in arms, the warriors of the Revolution; over the prostration of the public credit and the faith of the nation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
