Features: Without his father, John Adams might have spent his entire life as an ordinary farmer, never caring about places beyond his hometown of Braintree. As a child, John attended a one-room schoolhouse in the town. However, he found the learning life there utterly boring and wanted to drop out to help on his family farm. But John Adams himself made a wise decision for the entire United States. As a delegate to the Continental Congress, his education, legal knowledge, and skilled oratory skills were put to good use in Philadelphia. At the Continental Congress, his eloquent and penetrating speeches made him one of the most powerful advocates for the Declaration of Independence. It can be said that he made an indelible contribution to the founding of the United States of America. Many years later, this prominent figure from Braintree was finally elected as the second President of the United States.
