    America's Indispensable Revolutionary

    Miglior citazione da America's Indispensable Revolutionary

    “

    Adams believed that leadership meant doing what was right for the nation, not what was popular or politically advantageous. He understood that genuine freedom was fragile and rare, a precious achievement that required constant work to maintain.

    Domanda di input

    I’ve been reading 1776 by David McCullough and the Revolutionary by Stacey Chef and I’m wondering if I would be interested in reading the John Adams biography also by McCullough I’m not sure I know much about him. Can you develop a lesson about who he was and why he was so important and so interesting?
