On July 11, 1767, John Quincy Adams was born in Braintree, Massachusetts to Abigail and John Adams.

Adams began his diplomatic training at ten years old, when he traveled to Europe with his father.

Two years later, he returned to Paris, this time as his father’s official secretary during negotiations to end the Revolutionary War.

Adams spent a few years working as a lawyer before President George Washington appointe
