 * [|Inauguration] **
 * [|John Adams] **
 * To begin ****, t **** he United States election took place in 1796. John Adams was George Washington’s Vice President and Washington supported Adams. Adams was running against Thomas Pinckney and Thomas Jefferson. John Adams won the election with 71 electoral votes. Jefferson was right behind him with 68 votes, which made him the Vice President. Pinckney had lost with 59 votes. Adams’s prior experience to being President was that he was a lawyer. He also defended British soldiers for the Boston Massacre. Adams wrote articles in newspapers and later in 1774 was one of the four to go to the first Continental Congress meeting. John Adams was at the American Revolution and was a patriot for his Country.The unusual vibe was that Adams was a federalist and Jefferson was a republican.The conflicts that were happen **** ing during the year of the election were the Whiskey Rebellion, the Quasi War with France, the XYZ affair and the Jays Treaty. I would have voted for Adams because he had a great education and was a good guy. **


 * When Adams became president he was 61 years old and graduated from Harvard University to become a lawyer, this is what made him a great candidate for President. John Adams was the very first president to settle and stay in the White House. The White House was under construction while he was living there. His inauguration date was Saturday, March 4th, 1797 it took place in the House of Representatives building, Congress Hall, Philadelphia. His inauguration letter was 2,318 words long. In Adam’s **** inauguration he addresses his love for the Constitution and that he wants education for all people a **** nd many more ins **** piring statemen **** ts. **
