At the  same  
time, John Adams understood that to successfully create the  nation,  
slavery would have to be left to the children or  grandchildren of the  
revolutionary generation to solve, as indeed it  was. I have felt for  
many years that John Adams deserves a monument  every bit as big as  
the Jefferson memorial for the critical part he  played in getting the  
Continental congress to declare independence.  But he also understood  
that if the slavery issue were pushed, SC and  GA wouldn't join and  
might take others with them. Talk about your  ticking time bombs...
 
John Adams wrote something to the effect that he feared that slavery  
eventually would tear the country apart.
