About this book
Ex-President John Quincy Adams in Pittsburgh, Address Of is the published text of a major political address delivered by John Quincy Adams in Pittsburgh during one of his trips through the western United States after his presidency. Adams (1767-1848) served as the sixth President from 1825 to 1829 and then returned to public life as a member of the House of Representatives from 1831 until his death in 1848, where he became one of the most prominent congressional opponents of the expansion of slavery.
The Pittsburgh address belongs to the substantial body of speeches Adams delivered across his congressional decades on the political controversies of the period. His opposition to slavery, his support for the constitutional right of petition that the Southern slave interest was trying to suppress, and his broader Whig political positions all featured in his various public speeches.
The published address is one of many Adams speeches that appeared in pamphlet form during the period for distribution to political supporters and the broader American political audience.
