John Adams, Jr. (1735–1826) was the second President of the United States (1797–1801). He also served as America's first Vice President (1789–1797). He was defeated for re-election in the "Revolution of 1800" by Thomas Jefferson. Adams was also the first President to reside in the newly built White House in Washington, DC, which was completed in 1800.

Adams, a sponsor of the American Revolution in Massachusetts, was a driving force for independence in 1776.

As a northerner, John Adams was treated much more favorably in the version of history taught in the United States following the War of Secession than his colleagues from the south, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

In the twentieth century, Adams's portrait was used on the five dollar bill.
