An open letter to John Quincy Adams
To you sir we owe a debt of gratitude. You served your country for 70 years. You fought for the disenfranchised, those who could not speak, and those who were forgotten by most. You alone took on slavery, with that, you gained the freedom of the Amistad slaves through your masterful rhetoric.
You pushed for and successfully created the Smithsonian Institution. Your dreams of connecting roadways and national universities, observatories, and centers of science and learning would come to fruition in the years following your death. You laid the path for Lincoln to follow in the Civil War in which you so correctly predicted. You also so correctly mentioned that the slaves could be freed through the War Powers Act. Lincoln followed that advice with his proclamation. Legislators would follow that lead with the thirteenth amendment.
Many today are unaware of most of your actions as America's greatest Secretary of State. The Monroe Doctrine, of course is just one, of your remarkable creations and actions.
If there is ever a memorial in Washington DC dedicated you and your father. It should be inscribed To John and John Quincy Adams ...They saw the future, and they battled their present to achieve that future. Their actions have enriched so many, not only in this country, but the world. Jack Stanley (used by permission)

"Amazing work and quality. George was a handsome man and this picture does him justice, unlike the toothless, old man images of him. He was in his 50s when he became President. The only change I would make would be to show him with dark, reddish hair like he had in his youth. Thanks!"
