A. The quote seems to refer to seeking out enemies to fight. To defend our selves we needed to only attack the ones who attacked us (none of which were connected to Iraq) swiftly and then leave. continued occupation and demonetization of these people ensures that peace will never happen. btw, who is Trevor

In 1802 he was elected to the United States Senate. Six years later President Madison appointed him Minister to Russia.

A. John Quincy Adams was greatly responsible for Jay's Treaty. Jay's Treaty was unsuccessful in avoiding the War of 1812 and Adams received much blame. In fact, he was doing what President Madison and then Secretary of State Monroe asked him to do. The result of Jay's Treaty was that the U.S. felt Britain could not be trusted and a narrow vote was made for War.

A. No, he did not. Neither did George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, or most of the other founders. It was not generally the custom for Protestants to have middle names until the late 18th century. If it helps, though, he was named for his great-great-grandfather, the Puritan John Alden (or, more precisely, he was named for his father John Adams, who was named for John Alden). If you're not familiar, there's a famous story about the courtship of John Alden and his wife, Priscilla Mullins.

A. The answer is "5". This was before the Monroe Doctrine, Anyway the Monroe Doctrine was about protecting the countries of the New World from Europeans establishing colonies or exploitation. It wasn't about protecting one European nation from another. When Austria, Prussia, and Russia formed the Grand or Holy Alliance, many people feared that they would help Spain regain her former colonies in Latin America. I hope that this has been a help to you.

A. Adams' Administration accomplished very little for too reasons. First, most of the foreign policy issues were solved before he took office. Secondly, he only served one term, which limited his ability to accomplish anything great. That being said, Adams' administration is credited with the following: The development of the American System - high tariffs, internal improvements, and reform of the national bank and currency. Under his presidency, the Cumberland Road was extended into Ohio and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was started. His most famous legislation may be the Tariff of 1828 (aka the Tariff of Abominations).

A. No, the opposite is more correct. John Quincy Adams left office on March 4, 1829 after losing the election of 1828 to Andrew Jackson. Adams did not attend the inauguration of his successor, Andrew Jackson, who had openly snubbed him by refusingto pay the traditional "courtesy call" to the outgoing President during the weeks before his own inauguration. He was one of only three Presidents who chose not to attend their respective successor's inauguration, the others were his father and Andrew Johnson.
