ExclusiveJohn Adams: Second Place President

As the second president of the United States, John Adams is in the shadows of other Founding Fathers whose legacies are much more revered. As George Washington’s runner-up for the first two presidential election, John Adams served as the first US vice-president. As the first US president to claim a political party (Federalist), Adams continued the formality and traditions of his predecessor while working hard to keep the young nation out of a military conflict.
