John Adams is discussed as a less known but significant Founding Father, known for his role in the American Revolution, his moral compass, and his extraordinary marriage to Abigail Adams.

Shownotes Transcript

Often given less attention than the other Founding Fathers, John Adams is no less significant. Not only did he go on to be the second US President, but he was an accomplished diplomat and had a strong moral compass - he was one of the few Founding Fathers who was a committed abolitionist. Listen as William and Anita look at his life and extraordinary marriage to Abigail Adams.
