Adams National Historical Park
Adams National Historical Park in Quincy, Massachusetts preserves the home of Presidents of the United States John Adams and John Quincy Adams, of U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain, Charles Francis Adams, and of the writers and historians Henry Adams and Brooks Adams.
The national historical park's eleven buildings tell the story of five generations of the Adams family (from 1720 to 1927) including Presidents, First Ladies, U.S. Ministers, historians, writers, and family members who supported and contributed to their success. In addition to Peacefield, home to four generations of the Adams family, the park's main historic features include the John Adams Birthplace (October 30, 1735), the nearby John Quincy Adams Birthplace (July 11, 1767), and the Stone Library (built in 1870 to house the books of John Quincy Adams and believed to be the first presidential library), containing more than 14,000 historic volumes in 12 languages.
There is an off-site Visitors Center less than a mile away. Regularly scheduled tours of the houses are offered in season (April 19 to November 10), by guided tour only, using a tourist trolley provided by the Park Service between sites. Access to United First Parish Church, where the Adamses worshipped and are buried, is provided by the congregation for which they ask a small donation. The church is next to the street from the Visitors Center.

John Quincy Adams: Militant Spirit
John Quincy Adams, the son of John Adams, was a brilliant ambassador and Secretary of State, a frustrated President at a historic turning point in American politics, and a dedicated congressman who literally died in office—at the age of 80, in the House of Representatives, in the midst of an impassioned political debate. James Traub draws on Adams’s diary, letters, and writings to evoke a diplomat and President whose ideas remain with us today. A book signing follows the program.

Martin Van Buren National Historic Site - Beautiful Upstate New York
Martin Van Buren National Historic Site is is located 20 miles south of Albany, New York, and two miles south of the village of Kinderhook, New York. The National Historic Site preserves the estate and thirty-six room mansion of Martin Van Buren, the eighth President of the United States. Van Buren purchased the estate, which he named Lindenwald, in 1839 during his one term as President and it became his home and farm during his retirement (wikipedia).
With me were my wife and son as we visited this site in the summer of 2018. Other stops on this trip were Saratoga, Fort Stanwix and Cooperstown (the Baseball Hall of Fame).

SUMMARY
=======
John Quincy Adams ( (listen); July 11, 1767 – February 23, 1848) was an American statesman who served as the sixth President of the United States from 1825 to 1829. He served as the eighth United States Secretary of State immediately before becoming president. During his long diplomatic and political career, Adams also served as an ambassador, United States Senator, and member of the United States House of Representatives. He was the eldest son of John Adams, who served as president from 1797 to 1801. Initially a Federalist like his father, he won election to the presidency as a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, and in the mid-1830s became affiliated with the Whig Party.
Born in Braintree, Massachusetts, Adams spent much of his youth in Europe, where his father served as a diplomat. After returning to the United States, Adams established a successful legal practice in Boston. In 1794, President George Washington appointed Adams as the U.S. ambassador to the Netherlands, and Adams would serve in high-ranking diplomatic posts until 1801, when Thomas Jefferson took office as president. Federalist leaders in Massachusetts arranged for Adams's election to the United States Senate in 1802, but Adams broke with the Federalist Party over foreign policy and was denied re-election. In 1809, Adams was appointed as the U.S. ambassador to Russia by Democratic-Republican President James Madison. Adams held diplomatic posts for the duration of Madison's presidency, and he served as part of the American delegation that negotiated an end to the War of 1812. In 1817, newly-elected President James Monroe selected Adams as his secretary of state. In that role, Adams negotiated the Adams–Onís Treaty, which provided for the American acquisition of Florida. He also helped formulate the Monroe Doctrine, which became a key tenet of U.S. foreign policy.
The presidential election 1824 was contested by Adams, Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford, and Henry Clay, all of whom were members of the Democratic-Republican Party. As no candidate won a majority of the electoral vote, the House of Representatives held a contingent election to determine the president, and Adams won that contingent election with the support of Clay. President Adams called for an ambitious agenda that included federally-funded infrastructure projects, the establishment of a national university, and engagement with the countries of Latin America, but many of his initiatives were defeated in Congress. During Adams's presidency, the Democratic-Republic Party polarized into two major camps: one group, known as the National Republican Party, supported President Adams, while the other group, known as the Democratic Party, was led by Andrew Jackson. The Democrats proved to be more effective political organizers than Adams and his National Republican supporters, and Jackson decisively defeated Adams in the 1828 presidential election.
Rather than retiring from public service, Adams won election to the House of Representatives, where he would serve from 1831 to his death in 1848. He joined the Anti-Masonic Party in the early 1830s before becoming a member of the Whig Party, which united those opposed to President Jackson. During his time in Congress, Adams became increasingly critical of slavery and of the Southern leaders whom he believed controlled the Democratic Party. He was particularly opposed to the annexation of Texas and the Mexican–American War, which he saw as a war to extend slavery. He also led the repeal of the gag rule, which had prevented the House of Representatives from debating petitions to abolish slavery. Historians generally concur that Adams was one of the greatest diplomats and secretaries of state in American history, but they tend to rank him as an average president.
Gardner's Regiment at Fowle House July 18, 2010
The Edmund Fowle House was built in 1772 and is the second oldest surviving house in Watertown, Massachusetts. It was the home of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress where men such as Sam Adams, John Adams, Joseph Warren, and Artemis Ward met to determine the future of the Colony, decide on Independence and plan war against His Majesty's Forces.
The Declaration of Independence was read aloud from the second story on July 18, 1776 and the following day a treaty was signed between members of the newly indpendent State of Massachusetts and the Micmac and St. John of Nova Scotia Indians.

Along the Freedom Trail, Boston National Historical Park - Boston, Massachusetts
American independence was declared in Philadelphia in 1776. But the movement was born in the actions and oratory of the patriots of Boston. Boston was home to James Otis, John and Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, Ben Franklin and others who promoted the cause. It is where the first victims of the struggle for independence were laid to rest. Paul Revere's famous ride began here, and the battle of Bunker Hill (Breed's Hill, actually) was fought here.
Boston National Historical Park preserves many of the buildings and places associated with the fight for American independence in Boston. The park's Freedom Trail is a walking route (marked with red bricks) brom Boston Common to Bunker Hill that leads visitors to a number of sights associated with Boston's role in that fight as well as other sights associated with the early days of Boston both before and after independence was won.
The Photos (in order)
B04A0041 - A marker at the Granary Burying Ground identifies the grave of Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Crispus Attucks and Patrick Carr, victims of the Boston Massacre; also buried here is Christopher Snider (Seider in some records), a boy who was killed by a British soldier 11 days earlier; Snider is regarded as the first to be killed in what would become the American Revolution; Samuel Adams, John Hancock, James Otis and Paul Revere are among other patriots buried here
B04A0057 - King's Chapel is a pre-Revolution Anglican Church built on the edge of the oldest burying ground in Boston, where many early Puritans were buried; among those buried here are Mary Chilton, the first Pilgrim to touch Plymouth Rock, and William Dawes, who like Paul Revere rode to Lexington to warn that the British were coming (Longfellow's poem, Paul Revere's Ride, unfortunately for Dawes put all the attention on Paul Revere)
B04A0074 - The Old South Meeting House was a Puritan church and the largest building in Boston at the time; as such, it became a popular meeting place for audiences to hear passionate arguments for American rights and soon American independence
B04A0078 - The Old State House served as both the home of the British government of Massachusetts as well as the elected Massachusetts Assembly, leading to increasing confrontations between the colonists and their British rulers; a circle of paving stones located in the traffic island below the balcony marks the site of the Boston Massacre
B04A0088 - Faneuil Hall was proposed as a market building, but a meeting space on the second floor was added to the proposal to win over support; speeches by James Otis, Samuel Adams and others held here, as with the Old South Meeting House, promoted American rights, resulting in the hall to be nicknamed the Cradle of Liberty; it was here that the doctrine of no taxation without representation was adopted, and where so-called Tea Meetings led up to the Boston Tea Party (which prompted the British to close Faneuil Hall); today the hall continues to play a role in Boston politics
B04A0100 - Paul Revere's house, in Boston's North End, is the oldest surviving house in Boston, dating back to the 1600s
B04A0113 - Old North Church is where lanterns would be hung - one if by land, two if by sea - warning patriots in Charleston of British troop movements before Paul Revere began his famous ride to Lexington and Concord
B04A0126 - The Battle of Bunker Hill, mostly fought on Breed's Hill in 1775, was an early battle in the American Revolution; although British forces successfully took the American position on the hill, they did so with far greater casualties; technically a British victory, it helped to show the Americans that the British could be beaten
Governor unveils education vision in Quincy
QUINCY -- Gov. Deval Patrick envisions full-day kindergarten, smaller class sizes, a longer school day with more experiential education and free community college and apprenticeship programs.
The governor launched his quest to create a comprehensive education plan for the state with a town-hall style meeting in Quincy on Thursday night, using the grass-roots style employed last year in his campaign for governor.
What I'm interested in is what strate gies we can put in place, he told the au dience of more than 100 people at the Merrymount School in the city's Adams Shore neighborhood. Is this the right vi sion in your view?
Patrick asked residents community members to ask themselves how much education makes a difference, what outcomes they want, how much it would cost and how much they are willing to pay.
He said they should look not only at what they should be doing but also at what they should stop doing.
Among other things, people in the audience expressed concern about creating more unfunded mandates and talked about creating spaces where parents could get information about other public programs.
There's no doubt in my mind if we are as ambitious in the next 10 years as I want us to be, we are going to have to raise revenues, Patrick said.
Asked about neighborhood schools, Patrick said he walked to school and considers neighborhood schools a wonderful model. But he also said he believes in a reasonable amount of choice and that diversity in the student body is good.
Patrick reiterated his commitment to giving in-state college tuition to the children of illegal immigrants.
Yes, we'll get this sorted, he said to a group of people wearing Same State, Same Rate stickers, referring to the controversy.
Patrick announced the drive to create a comprehensive 10-year education plan in June.
Since then, he has appointed a leadership council for what he is calling the Commonwealth Readiness Project and more than 150 volunteers to serve on subcommittees to help with the task.
The education task force is expected to present a strategic plan to Patrick in the spring. It will look at costs and present recommendations for implementing the recommended actions to move the state forward on the governor's proposals.
Thursday night's forum was the first public meeting in the process. People from other area communities attended, too.
Patrick used his own life as an example, saying that when he was growing up, he shared a room with his mother, sister and a grandparent, and slept in bunks and on the floor, but while his own daughter had, by the age of 18, lived on three continents and shaken a president's hand.
How does that happen in one genera tion? he asked. Education is how that happens.
Although he voiced support for the MCAS testing system, Patrick said it might be time to look at it more closely.
My point is simply we've had enough experience with MCAS to ask ques tions, he said. Is the test we have the test we need?
Several people in the audience members said they swere pleased with Patrick's ap proach.
I think his heart is in the right place, said Kelly Scola, who has children at tending the Merrymount School.
I thought it was amazing, said William Pavao, a history teacher at Central Middle School. I want to make sure teachers are involved in the process. That needs to happen.

American History - Part 077 - Pierce - Kansas-Nebraska Bill - Railroads
Franklin Pierce was from the northeastern state of New Hampshire. He was a lawyer and former state lawmaker. He also had served in the United States Senate and House of Representatives. He became an officer in the Army during America's war with Mexico in the late 1840s.
Franklin Pierce was a young man. And his inauguration speech was about a young America. He promised strong support for expanding the territory of the United States. He also promised a strong foreign policy.
In his foreign policy, President Pierce successfully negotiated with Britain to gain American fishing rights along the coast of Canada. However, he was unsuccessful in an attempt to buy Cuba from Spain.
One of the most important developments in foreign policy during Pierce's administration actually began earlier. Former president Millard Fillmore had sent Navy Commodore Matthew Perry to Asia. Perry finally sailed into Tokyo Bay in 1853. His arrival led to the establishment of diplomatic and trade relations between the United States and Japan.
As America grew and white settlers moved west, many felt a great need for good transportation. They wanted railroads that reached across the continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Engineers decided that four new rail lines would be possible.
One could cross the northern part of the country, connecting the cities of Saint Paul and Seattle. Another could cross the middle, connecting Saint Louis and San Francisco. A third could connect Memphis and San Francisco. And a fourth could be far to the south, connecting New Orleans and San Diego.
Democratic Senator Stephen Douglas of Illinois proposed that three lines be built. He said the government could give land to the railroad companies. The companies could then sell the land to get the money they needed to build the lines.
A Senate committee discussed the situation. It decided that building three railroads at the same time would be too difficult. It proposed that only one be built. But which one?
Many congressmen believed that a southern line would be best. There would be little snow in winter. And the railroad would cross lands already organized as states or official territories. A northern or central line would face severe winter weather. And it would have to cross a wild area called Nebraska. Nebraska was neither a state nor a territory.
In trying to settle the question of railroads, the issue of slavery rose once again.
Nebraska lay north of the Missouri compromise line, which had been established in 1820. Slavery was not permitted there.
The state of Missouri lay next to Nebraska. Missouri was a slave state. For years, Congressmen from Missouri had defeated all attempts to make Nebraska an official territory. When Congress met in 1853, it considered a new bill on Nebraska. Instead of creating one large territory, the bill would create two. The northern part would be called the Nebraska territory. The southern part would be called the Kansas territory. The proposal to split them was called the Kansas-Nebraska bill.
The bill did not clearly say if slavery would be legal, or illegal, in the two new territories.
The purpose of the Kansas-Nebraska bill reportedly was to settle differences among opposing railroad interests in the area. Yet many Americans believed the real purpose was to permit the spread of slavery.
A group of anti-slavery Senators denounced the bill. They said it was part of a southern plan to spread slavery wherever possible. They also said it was being used by Senator Stephen Douglas for political purposes. They said he was trying to gain southern support for himself in the next presidential election. When the Senate began debate on the Kansas-Nebraska bill, Stephen Douglas was the first to defend it.
Douglas said the bill would give people in the Kansas and Nebraska territories the right to decide if slavery would be permitted. He said the same right had been given to people in New Mexico and Utah by the compromise of 1850. And he said that same right was meant for people of all future territories.
In the past, he noted, the national government had tried to divide free states from slave states by a line across a map. He said a geographical line was not the answer. He said the people of a state or territory had the right to decide for themselves.
Douglas argued that the compromise of 1850 took the place of the earlier Missouri compromise of 1820. The new Kansas-Nebraska bill, he said, simply recognized the fact that the Missouri compromise was dead.
In the southern United States, the Kansas-Nebraska bill caused little excitement. Most southerners were not greatly interested in it. They believed it might help the cause of slavery. But they also believed it might lead to trouble.
