Atlas of Independence: John Adams during the Revolution

Cost: $5.50 for Online Event Access

Speaker: Chris Mackowski, American Battlefield Trust

Before he became the second President of the United States, John Adams was one of the most energetic and influential leaders of the American Revolution. Join Chris Mackowski of Emerging Civil War as he traces Adams’s journey from a Massachusetts lawyer to a central architect of American independence. From the debates of the Second Continental Congress to diplomatic missions across Europe, Adams helped shape the political, military, and international strategy that secured American freedom.

Through letters, political maneuvering, and tireless advocacy, Adams pushed the colonies toward independence and helped build the alliances necessary to win the war. We will also explore his partnership and occasional rivalry with figures such as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin as they worked to secure recognition and support from foreign powers.
