John Adams

The Alien and Sedition Acts were a series of acts signed into law in 1798 that was designed to give the federal government more authority to deal with foreign nationals. These acts gave the president power to deport any "aliens" during peacetime, deport any "alien" with ties to the enemies of the U.S., and freedom to consider any articles deemed "libelous" as treason.

John Adams was born in 1767 and died in 1848. Do the math. 1848-1767= 81 years old.

Yes it would be correct if John Adams was actually BORN in 1767 and died in 1848.

He was not in fact born in 1767 nor did he die in1848. He was actually born in 1735 and died in 126 so that would make him 91 years old.

Proposed by John Adams.

Alien Act- authorized the deportation of foreigners

Sedation Act- prohibited the publication of insults or malicious attacks on the president or members of the Congress.

John Adams was appointed one of five members of the "Committee of Five" which was directed to write the Declaration of Independence. The other four were Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert L. Livingston and Roger Sherman. Once Jefferson finished his initial version, Adams and Franklin reviewed it and made minor changes. Then it was presented to the Continental Congress for adoption. Adams participated in the debates in Congress where several other changes were made to arrive at a final version.

John Adams, the second president of the United States, was urged by Americans to go to war with France. Adams was well aware that declaring war on France would harm the United States gravely, for during the late 1700s our military was not sufficient to battle with another country. Adams received word from his representatives sent to France that the foreign country would agree to stop interfering with US shipping - for a price. France claimed that the United States representatives would need to formally meet with French agents code named X, Y, and Z and give them a bribe of 200,000 dollars. This affair is called the XYZ affair due to the names of the agents used by France when they tried to bribe the United States.

The XYZ Affair was an incident in 1798, during a period when French privateers were regularly seizing U.S. merchant ships, and that precipitated an undeclared war between the US and France .
President John Adams sent emissaries to France to negotiate . They were met by three French agents who identified themselves as X,Y and Z and demanded a substantial bribe for access to the French foreign minister. The Americans were outraged.

Samuel Adams is famous for the group called the Sons of Liberty, an early patriotic movement that engaged in tax resistance activities such as the Boston Tea Party (1773) and the burning of the revenue cutter HMS Gaspee (1772).

Martha Custis was a rich heiress who was a few months older than George Washington. She affected his political life by giving him resources and increased respectability. What she didn't give him, obviously, was children.

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.

The Alien and Sedition Acts were imposed in 1798 to control alien immigrants in to the United states. People who come from other countries not from other planets, but I suppose if the need ever arose it could come to include space aliens ;)

The break-in in the Watergate Hotel occurred on June 17, 1972. Two days later, the Washington Post published a story indicating a tie to the Nixon campaign and the break in. After a complicated series of investigations, denial, stone-walling. legal maneuvering and damning evidence, Nixon resigned the Presidency on August 8, 1974.

John Hancock was President of the Second Continental Congress from May 24th, 1775 until October 19, 1777. He presided over the debates on Independence. His wealth very much aided the cause and fed many families through rough times during the Revolutionary War. On July 4th, 1776 he was the first delegate to sign the Declaration of Independenc. He signed his name so large and boldly "so that King George III can read it without his glasses." Today, his name is often used as a synonym for the word signature.

The XYZ Affair was when the French demanded large payments before discussing peace terms, Americans were outraged. They called it the XYZ Affair for the three French agents involved. Many Americans wanted it, but Adams worked carefully to avoid a war with France so soon. The U.S. Navy had a very small army. Adams built up the U.S. Army and Navy for protection, while sending Americans to France to work on peace. The U.S. never officially declared war, but between 1797 and 1800, both sides were attacking ships at sea. Finally, in 1800 the U.S. and France signed a peace treaty. France was already at war with Great Britain, and neither nation wanted the United States to be involved. Adams' ability to avoid war through careful diplomacy was a major success.

Samuel Adams

The Alien and Sedition acts were passed because these acts targeted aliens- immigrants who were not yet citizens. One act increased the waiting period to become a legal US citizen from 5 to 14 years. Other acts gave the president the power to arrest disloyal aliens or order them out of the country during wartime. A fourth acts outlawed sedition, saying or writing anything false or harmful about the government. With these acts, the federalist clamped down on freedom of speech and the press.

John Adams began his participation in the American Revolutionary War by heading in 1776 the Continental Board of War and Ordnance. He also served on the committee for drafting the Declaration of Independence. He also negotiated a loan from France that enabled the Colonies to fund the war against Great Britain. He also helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris, ending the war.
