A few years later, John Adams takes young John Quincy with him when he crosses the Atlantic.
I mean, they crossed the Atlantic back when very few people did this.
And John Quincy is there alongside his father and Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson as they're negotiating the French into the Revolutionary War and then negotiating peace.
And so...
John Quincy, you know, John Adams, he's an independent, he's a maverick in his own right, right?
He defends the British officers in the Boston Massacre.
He does it because that's what you do in a free country.
Everyone has a right to due process, no matter how unpopular that was for him.
