T5606-Facts Are Stubborn Things - John Adams

“Facts Are Stubborn Things.”
At 40 years old, John Adams was the engine behind American independence—a force of reason, grit, and unrelenting principle. Known for being “obnoxious and disliked,” Adams embraced truth over popularity, driving the debate in the Continental Congress that led to the birth of a nation. While Thomas Jefferson put pen to parchment, Adams secured the votes and bore the heat of resistance. His sharp mind was matched only by his steady heart—his wife Abigail, his partner in every way, advised him from afar as he took on the heaviest burdens of revolution. Later a Vice President, then President, Adams never sought titles; he claimed only one with pride: Patriot. His legacy challenges us still—speak truth, stand firm, and never take liberty for granted. Once lost, he warned, it may be lost forever.
