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. 606 $aPoliticians$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yRevolution, 1775-1783$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1775-1783 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPoliticians 676 $a973.3092 676 $aB 700 $aAlexander$b John K$0914543 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459918403321 996 $aSamuel Adams$92049600 997 $aUNINA
