# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in 1767, the eldest son of John Adams, he grew up trailing his father through European diplomacy during the Revolution. He built a legal career in Boston before Washington sent him abroad as minister to the Netherlands and Prussia. Recalled by Jefferson in 1801, he won a Senate seat but broke with the Federalists over foreign policy and lost re-election. Madison dispatched him to Russia, then Britain, where he brokered the Treaty of Ghent ending the War of 1812. As Monroe's secretary of state he negotiated the Adams–Onís Treaty that brought Florida into the Union and helped shape the Monroe Doctrine. The 1824 election sent him to the White House after a House vote and a deal with Henry Clay that opponents branded a "corrupt bargain." His presidency stalled; Congress blocked his infrastructure and education plans, and Jackson crushed him in 1828. In 1830 he returned to Washington as a congressman and never left, joining the Whigs and turning his final years into a crusade against slavery, the gag rule, and the Mexican War. At seventy-three he argued the Amistad case before the Supreme Court and won. He died at his desk in the Capitol in 1848.
