What were the pros and cons of john quincy adams

In order to head off the threat of war, Adams built up the armed forces of the U.S. to respectable proportions; he has justly been called the Father of the American Navy.

This formidable military establishment (later dismantled by Jefferson) helped protect American independence and ensured peace during Adams's term.
