One of John Quincy Adams' biggest achievements was becoming a U.S. president. He was the son of a former president (John Adams). John Quincy Adams was the 6th President of the United States. Before that, he had became known as a very effective Secretary of State under President James Monroe: Adams helped the United States to peacefully acquire new territories, negotiating with both Spain and England. He also helped to formulate the Monroe Doctrine, which opposed further European efforts to colonize independent nations in North or South America.
