== == Adams was born in Braintree, Massachusetts, in a part of town which eventually became Quincy. The John Quincy Adams birthplace, now part of Adams National Historical Park, is open to the public, as is the nearby Abigail Adams Cairn that marks the site from which Adams witnessed the Battle of Bunker Hill as a seven-year-old boy. He first learned of the Declaration of Independence from the letters his father wrote his mother from Philadelphia. Much of Adams' youth was spent overseas accompanying his father, who served as an American envoy to France from 1778 until 1779 and to the Netherlands from 1780 until 1782. During this period, he acquired his early education at institutions such as the University of Leiden. For nearly two years, at the age of only 14, he accompanied Francis Dana, as a secretary on a mission to St. Petersburg, Russia, to gain recognition of the new republic. He also spent time in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and in 1804 published a travel report of Germany's Silesia.[1] During these years overseas, Adams gained a mastery of French and Dutch and a familiarity with German and other European languages. After returning to America, he had become far more educated and well-travelled than most of his countrymen even twice his age. He entered Harvard College and graduated in 1788. He apprenticed as a lawyer with Theophilus Parsons in Newburyport, Massachusetts, in 1787-1789. He was then admitted to the bar in 1791 and began practicing law in Boston. George Washington appointed Adams as minister to the Netherlands from 1794 until 1796 and to Portugal in 1796. With George Washington's urging, his father appointed him minister to Prussia from 1797 until 1801. While serving abroad, he married Louisa Catherine Johnson, the daughter of an American merchant, in a ceremony at the church of All Hallows-by-the-Tower, London. Adams afterwards returned to Massachusetts where he lived in the Old House (now a museum). He began his political career in 1802 when he was elected to the Massachusetts Senate. Adams was an unsuccessful Federalist candidate for election to the U.S. House of Representatives in the same year. He was elected as a Federalist to the U.S. Senate, serving from March 4, 1803, until June 8, 1808, when he broke with the Federalists, resigned from his Senate seat in June 1808, and became a Republican. Adams served as minister to Russia from 1809 until 1814, chief negotiator of the U.S. commission for the Treaty of Ghent in 1814, and minister to the Court of St. James's (United Kingdom) from 1815 until 1817.

What political party was john q Adams apart of?
Federalist.
While he differed from the High Federalists in that he was not as extreme, and whereas the High Federalists controlling Congress gave him a lot of grief, Adams was firmly in the camp of "strong central government, states rights are just a nice luxury."
It is often said that Federalists are modern-day Liberals, but that comparison is an anachronistic association which ought not be made.
Modern liberals supported strong government ECONOMIC policy and no government SOCIAL policy (legalise the things that don't hurt people), contrasted with conservatives who tend to support strong government SOCIAL policy (illegalise gay marriage, illegalise "drugs", etc.) and moderate/no ECONOMIC policy (whereas conservatives often say we should have lower taxes and fewer interventions, they also involve themselves heavily in certain sectors of the market). Modern liberals hate war and modern conservatives support it, BROADLY SPEAKING.
Now, Federalists supported strong government ECONOMIC policy and also strong government SOCIAL policy (the High Federalists passed the Alien and Sedition Acts, for instance, which significantly curbed immigrant rights to keep them away from the voting booths). They supported war more than the Republicans (Also known as Jeffersonians, or Anti-federalists) did. Republicans advocated limited economic involvement in all sectors, completely opposed "unnecessary wars" and ANY government intervention in the economy, and (theoretically) opposed intervention in social policies. Though it should be noted that these ideals proved untenable, and by the end of Jefferson's presidency, he had imposed more regulations on commerce than Adams or Washington combined, and his efforts to enforce those laws infringed on numerous "civil rights".

How did John Adams feel about slavery?
John Adams, our first Vice President and second President, was a lifelong opponent of slavery. Even though he opposed the system of slavery, he did not oppose removing Jefferson's condemnation of slavery in the original draft of the Declaration of Independence. He felt uniting the colonies for independence was more important at that time, than causing the Continental Congress to debate the issue of slavery.
Abigail Adams was an abolitionist, but Adams took no public positions on slavery. As historian Richard Brookhiser commented, if Adams had ever made a public statement against slavery he never would have been elected president.
