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.
