While his extraordinary role in achieving American independence is closely analyzed, the post-independence period, including his tenure as governor of Massachusetts, is not neglected. The core theme is that Adams was unflinchingly committed to promoting and defending republican constitutions and ideals. He wanted the revolutionary generation to bequeath a land of liberty and equality to the nation's posterity.PoliticiansUnited StatesBiographyUnited StatesHistoryRevolution, 1775-1783BiographyUnited StatesPolitics and government1775-1783Electronic books.Politicians973.3092BAlexander John K914543MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459918403321Samuel Adams2049600UNINA
