John Quincy Adams (July 11, 1767 - February 23, 1848) was the son of the second President Of The United States John Adams and Abigail Adams. He was first a diplomat involved in many international negotiations, and formulated the Monroe Doctrine. He served as president from March 4th 1825 to March 4th 1829. Late in life, as a Congressman, he was a leading opponent of the Slave Power, arguing that if a civil war ever broke out the president could abolish slavery by using his war powers, a policy followed by Abraham Lincoln in the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863.
