Upon resigning, Washington told him to avoid conflicts in Europe. During Adams' presidency, the French were fighting with Britain and had asked him for help. Adams took Washington's advice and refused. This was an unpopular decision as the citizens of the United States wanted to help. Among these people were Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton. This was one of the major reasons that gained dislike for Adams. In addition to this, his "social" skills were not great which led to a lot of misinterpretation and misunderstanding of his intentions. Remember, he also had to replace the great George Washington as the leader which obviously would be extremely difficult for anybody at the time.

I could be wrong about this, but he didn't have a salary. He was a wealthy man, as was all of our first President's, so a salary wasn't considered.

Our political figures today have made politics into a profession and is part of the problem.

What happened to Quincy Maid Potato Chip company located in Quincy Il?

My father worked for this company from the 1960s until around 2000 as a delivery driver. He was there pretty much the whole lifecycle of the company. It was owned by the Ostermueller family, specifically George Ostermueller, for most of this time. His son, Jim, didn't ever seem to have much interest in this goldmine that bought his Porsche, and eventually after his father's death (late 90s maybe), he ran it briefly and sold it to a few partners. It was down to three drivers when my dad retired from there. It went under around 2000. The building is still there but little else remains of this long time company.
