What incident during john Adams' presidency brought the US close to war with France?

The main cause for the Quasi-War was the signing of the Jay Treaty between the United States and Great Britain in 1794. The French viewed it as a violation of the 1778 Treaty of Alliance with the American colonists.

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".

I hope that helps.

What unusual distinction do John Quincy Adams Rutherford B. Hayes Benjamin Harrison and George W. Bush share?

Invested millions of tax payer dollars in failed attempts to create a time travel device. Coincidently Harrison came closest to achieving success. In 1891 the Harrison Administration successfully transported a chimpanzee back into the space time continuum, however, they were unable to retrieve the primate from the past. In all $200 million U.S. tax dollars have been spent on such efforts.

They are the only persons to win the U.S. Presidency without receiving a majority of the popular vote.

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.

Who was the vice president of Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams?

The U.S. Vice President during John Quincy Adams' term and most of Andrew Jackson's first term was John C. Calhoun. John C. Calhoun was the running mate of both John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson in the 1824 election, which is why he had enough votes to be elected while none of the presidential candidates did. In 1828 he ran only with Andrew Jackson; John Quincy Adams' running mate was Richard Rush. Also, John C. Calhoun was one of only two U.S. Vice Presidents to resign the office; Calhoun did so in December of 1832.

The Vice President during Andrew Jackson's second term was Martin Van Buren, one of only four people who served a full term as U.S. Vice President immediately before serving a full term as U.S. President.
