Initiates Anti-Slavery in Campaign House

• John Quincy Adams initiates anti-slavery in
  campaign house in 1831. Freidel 18
• John Quincy Adams was against slavery. He was so
  against slavery that he fought for this rule for
  eight years until finally he obtained his repeal.
  Freidel 18
• Three reasons why he made this decision
• He did not believe in slavery.Freidel 18
• He always fought for what he considered was
  right. Freidel 18
• He thought of himself as a powerful leader and
  thought he could pass this rule. Freidel 18
• The U.S. would be completely different without
  this decision. There would be racism everywhere.
  Schools would be separated, everything would be
  unfair because of skin color. There would not be
  great football teams, and basketball teams
  without this rule. Michael Jordan would not be
  famous, and a great hero for some Americans.
• John Quincy Adams could have not went against
  slavery, or could have just let it go.
• I would have done the same thing as John Quincy
  Adams, but I would not have died, I would have
  fought for the rule until it was passed.

John Quincy Adams Soon to Build Roads and Canals
in US

• In 1828 President John Adams made it known that
  he would soon build roads and canals in Ohio and
  eventually even throughout the entire US
• He had taken on the job as president to improve
  the state of the US
• He made the decision for three main reasons
• The roads would provide easy access to places
  throughout the US that could not be accessed this
  easily before
• The canals would help with water transportation
  throughout the US
• He wanted America to become modern
• If he had not gone and made the canals, many
  states that use the major canals such as the
  Chesapeake and Ohio, would not have sufficient
  roads and there would not be much water

John Quincy Adams Passes Tariff of Abominations

• John Quincy Adams passes a bill putting a tariff,
  or fee on manufactured, imported goods
• He felt that the tariff would help finance other
  projects that he had in mind
• Tariff would finance a national university and
  astronomical observatories
• Tariff would finance exploration of US territory
• Tariff would finance building of canals and
  roadways
• If President John Quincy Adams had not passed the
  tariff of Abominations, his ideas would have been
  nothing. Even though not all of his ideas were
  fulfilled as he wanted, his idea were passed on.
  Without the circulation of these ideas, we may
  not know how space works, because there would be
  no observatories. Top students would not have a
  high academics university to attend because there
  would not be a national university.
