John Quincy was not the most liked person in the country, but he stood up for what he thought and believed in. There was a time in the early stage of ' career when he was a Senator, when many Senators careers would end because they did not follow the thought of their constituents.

Senate was an executive council to the President for a while, until the Federalist Party didn't agree ....

.... skin color affected every part of their lives. The South in particular was very racist. Slavery had been abolished only by some fifty years earlier, and blacks were still hated and were feared by whites because of skin color. Jim Crow had a law "separate but equal."

.... he didn't accept others who owned slaves. Jefferson denounced the slave owners, while he was owning and using slaves. Although Jefferson was supposedly a good slave owner, his hypocritical nature made him accuse others not to own slaves while he, himself was owning slaves.

This was a antithesis of that principle. Jefferson knew that the acquisition of the Lois ....
