He SIGNED the TREATY!!!!!!!!

Adams served in the first and second Continental Congresses. He nominated Virginian George Washington to command the troops around Boston (the beginning of the Continental Army). He seconded the resolution on independence and headed the committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence (Thomas Jefferson did most of the writing). In 1778 he sailed to France to become the American envoy to France. During this voyage, he helped man the cannons during a battle to capture a British merchant ship (this was his only combat role during the war). He returned home and drafted the Massachusetts Constitution in 1779. Later that year he returned to France as the head of the American negotiating committee to arrange peace with Britain. He signed the Treaty of Paris on September 3, 1783.
