Today, we dive into the fascinating story of John Adams, America's second president, a man who always seemed to live in somebody else’s shadow. From defending British soldiers after the Boston Massacre to becoming the nation’s first vice president and eventually president himself, Adams constantly found himself in second place while still shaping the future of the country. We explore his rivalry and unexpected friendship with Thomas Jefferson, and the chaos of the election of 1800. Even if John Adams always seemed to come in second, his dedication to America always came first.
