John Adams was the second President of the United States.
Adams kept America from going to war with France and made the "midnight Appointments"
Midnight appointees
The midnight appointments were last-minute judges appointed by Adams when it was clear he wasn't going to get re-elected. All of the judges were Federalists with the same views and Adams. He did this because Thomas Jefferson was completly anti-federalist.

The midnight judges.
The term midnight judges is a derogatory Republican term referring to Federalist judges appointed at the last minute by President Adams. The new judges were known as the Midnight Judges because Adams was said to be signing their appointments at midnight prior to President Thomas Jefferson's inauguration.
Yes.
Federalist President John Adams made last-minute appointments to the Judicial Branch because the Democratic-Republican politicians, lead by incoming President Thomas Jefferson, were about to take control of government away from the Federalists. Adams' appointment of "Midnight Judges," allowed by the lame duck Congress' hastily passed Judicial Act of 1801, gave him an opportunity to pack the federal courts with Federalist judges holding lifetime appointments. Adams reasoned that would ensure his party controlled at least one branch of government. Unfortunately for the Federalists, the new Congress repealed the Judiciary Act of 1801, thus eliminating the new judicial positions Adams filled.

The purpose of the "midnight ride" was to spread the news about British being in Lexington. this was done by Sam Adams and John Han>cock<.!!!!
because Adams realized the Federalist party was losing power and control in government to the Democratic-Republicans
