What did John Adams mean when he said title page to a great tragic volume?
John Q. Adams was alluding to the fact that the Missouri Compromise, far from providing a comprehensive solution to the ongoing debate about slavery in America, merely signaled the beginning of a long and tragic struggle towards what he believed would be it's ultimate extinction. The Missouri Compromise essentially divided the counrty in half, everything North of a certain latitude being free, and south slave. This begs the question, why is the word "tragic" used to describe something that would seem to us to be a good thing : that is the end of slavery. Here Adams recognized the fact that lives would be lost, homes and families torn apart, and an entire way of life (the agricultural South) stripped of it's life force. LONG STORY SHORT: By the time Adams said this he had positioned himself adamantly against slavery (Amistad) but knew the end of it would mean terrible things for many. The Missouri Compromise, then, was just the beginning.
How would you describe the alien act?
The strong steps that Adams took in response to the French foreign threat also included severe repression of domestic protest. A series of laws known collectively as the Alien and Sedition Acts were passed by the Federalist Congress in 1798 and signed into law by President Adams. These laws included new powers to deport foreigners as well as making it harder for new immigrants to vote. Previously a new immigrant would have to reside in the United States for five years before becoming eligible to vote, but a new law raised this to 14 years.
