“John Quincy Adams, Reluctant Abolitionist” by Jeffrey A. Denman is a compelling and insightful read. The book presents a powerful narrative of John Quincy Adamsโ complex struggle with the institution of slavery. His formative years were deeply influenced by his parents, John and Abigail Adams, who were unwavering in their condemnation of slavery.
In 1779, Adams began keeping a diaryโa practice he continued until his death in 1848. This diary remains one of the most valuable historical resources in American history. His first recorded mention of African slavery appeared on May 4, 1785.
Although Adams is often remembered for his presidency, it was a period marked by relative silence on slavery, largely due to political pressures and the need to secure support for his broader agenda. The title of this book has a great significance. I understood the meaning behind it after reading this book.
The book’s cover image captures the essence of Adams’ personality, while the depth of historical detail reveals the extensive research behind Denmanโs work. Before reading this, I had little knowledge of John Quincy Adamsโbut this book changed that.
