Detailed explanation-1: -The biography for President Adams and past presidents is courtesy of the White House Historical Association. John Quincy Adams, son of John and Abigail Adams, served as the sixth President of the United States from 1825 to 1829.

Detailed explanation-2: -John Quincy Adams signed the Treaty of Ghent and played a leading part in the U.S. acquisition of Florida and establishing the northern boundary of the United States.

Detailed explanation-3: -On February 9, 1825, the House of Representative elected John Quincy Adams as the sixth President of the United States after the electoral college failed to produce a winner. The 1824 election was one of only three presidential elections in which that scenario occurred (1800, 1824, and 1876).

Detailed explanation-4: -John Quincy Adams is generally ranked by historians and political scientists as an average president. He is remembered as a great secretary of state and a man eminently qualified for the presidency, yet hopelessly weakened in his presidential leadership potential as a result of the election of 1824.
