Hardback. Condizione: New. A growing tension between the United States and Great Britain permeates the 236 letters printed in Volume 16 of Adams Family Correspondence. The Embargo Act of 1807 cut off trade with the British in response to the harassment of American ships. John and Abigail Adams witnessed their neighbors' ensuing economic hardships and felt the sting of knowing that their son played a role in its passage. The efforts of US Senator John Quincy Adams to balance conscience with party and family loyalties are revealed in earnest correspondence, culminating in his resignation in the face of withering Federalist criticism. Louisa Catherine Adams's loyalties were always with her senator husband, though her attentions were focused on raising their children. Family concerns also occupied Thomas Boylston Adams. He married Ann Harrod, and together they added two children to the growing flock under Abigail's wing at Peacefield.Farther afield was the Adamses' daughter, Nabby, who from New York shepherded her maturing sons through school and into adulthood. Nabby's son William was caught up in foreign intrigue when he joined an expedition of Francisco de Miranda aimed at liberating Venezuela from Spanish rule. To the relief of all the Adamses, William safely returned home. In the background of all these activities was the concern of the Adamses and of all Americans who wondered if the young republic would survive a military test with Britain. The letters printed in this volume tell these stories and more, providing invaluable commentary by the people who again experienced uncertain days in the early American republic.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Entering the presidency in full service to the American people, John Adams vowed: "Their Confidence, which has been the Chief Consolation of my Life, is too prescious and Sacred a deposit ever to be considered lightly." This volume of the Papers of John Adams charts the period from February 1797 to February 1798, exploring the United States' diplomatic rupture with France and the Adams administration's pivot toward the Quasi-War. Adams spent his first year in office struggling to uphold a form of neutrality that would shield American shipping and commerce from France's mounting attacks. The US government labored to shift money and resources for military preparedness. "I should hold myself guilty of a neglect of Duty, if I forebore to recommend that We Should make every exertion to protect our Commerce, and to place our Country in a Suitable posture of defence," he wrote. Adams kept careful watch over imperial tensions on the western frontiers, where Spain, France, Great Britain, Native nations, and the United States wrestled for local control. The second president faced a resurgence of yellow fever in Philadelphia, public debates in the press about his abilities, and an ambitious cabinet. From the opening moments of his inauguration to his headlong rush to heal the United States' relations with France, this volume reveals how John Adams evolved the American presidency. This volume chronicles the first year of Adams's presidency, as he sought to protect America's commercial interests while preparing the country for potential war with France; faced the resurgence of yellow fever and questions about his abilities to lead the nation; and addressed competing powers on the western front.
