The Adams Family was a lot more like the Addams Family, the scandal of Braintree.
“It’s a miracle that the country voted you Vice President,” said General Washington, shaking a sheaf of papers at John Adams. “But you will ever become president with this hanging over your head.”
John drew up plans to split off his homestead from Braintree and name it Quincy.
“And then I can lose the police records in an accident,” he said, grabbing the papers from the General.
“What about the rumor-mongers?” said Washington.
Adams quieted them with a few troops borrowed during the Whiskey Rebellion.
