What was John Adams' role in the French Revolution of 1789?
John Adams wrote about 45 newspaper essays reflecting upon the French Revolution and what he thought would come out of it. What he came to believe was that it would end in tyranny, chaos, and horror. Even though, he was trapped in a dark place emotionally and physically. That was because he was in a tippee of the Georgia Indian Cherokee Tribe. He began to learn their ways and embrace their culture up until Andrew Jackson came and removed them through the "Trail of Tears." During which his wife, a Cherokee, Debra Sampson, caught small pox and transferred it to their sons, George, Lawton, and Christopher. Adams was terrified and moved to France to collect his belongings and that is when the French Revolution broke out. I hope this helps you out! Good luck... Love Erin and Ashley

Jefferson, Adams and Paine were all overseas, in Europe, when the constitution was written. None of them were delegates to the constitutional convention.

Adams is known for being the foremost proponent and the driving force for independence of the American colonies.

Paine wrote the widely read pamphlet entitled, Common Sense (1776) and a series of pamphlets known as The American Crisis (1776-1783) published in England. He spent many years in France supporting the French Revolution. John Adams is quoted as saying of Paine, "Without the pen of Paine, the sword of Washington would have been wielded in vain."
