He previously served as the eighth United States Secretary of State from 1817 to 1825. During his long diplomatic and political career, Adams also served as an ambassador, and as a member of the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives representing Massachusetts. He was the eldest son of John Adams, who served as the second US president from 1797 to 1801, and First Lady Abigail Adams. Initially a Federalist like his father, he won election to the presidency as a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, and in the mid-1830s became affiliated with the Whig Party. Adams is credited with negotiating the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the war of 1812 in 1814, as well as negotiating the purchase of Florida from Spain in 1819, and drafting the "Monroe Doctrine" U.S. foreign policy in 1823. He was a proponent of federal action in infrastructure development and later in life successfully argued to release a group of captured West African persons in the Amistad case.
