The presidents popularity has risen. War with France is brewing. Sedition and aliens acts are passed, a decrepit stain on this man’s presidency.

President Washington has decided to step down. John Adams is elected the second president of the United States (by quite the slimmest of margins).

Adams has found the position of Vice President frustrating. But as an American devoted to the country (not a monarchist as some would peg him), he performs his duty and is elected to a second term.

Mr. Adams has returned from Europe for the last time and assumed the role of the first vice president of the United States!

Mr. Jefferson of Virginia has joined the Adams family in Paris. The gentlemen are keen to procure commercial treaties for the newly victorious United States!

Jefferson seems like an interesting character

Peace is on the doorstep and Mr. Adams is at the forefront of negotiations with the British in Paris! An exciting time to be from the United States of America

Mr. Adams is in the Netherlands, campaigning for a truce and breaking diplomatic norms while doing it!

Mr. Adams is returning to the states after disbandment of his position in France. His Abigail, longs for his return after 11 long, dark months.

France is wearing down Mr. Adams

John adams has landed in France with his son, John Quincy Adams.
