John Adams didn't write the Declaration of Independence because 1. Since he defended the British for the Boston Massacre, many people hated him 2. He didnt want the King to think this was only a Massachusetts separation letter, given the fact almost all of the Revolution happened in Massachusetts, so he wanted Jefferson, a Virginia man, to write it because the King's favorite colony was Virginia because of the moneymaking tobacco plantations.
