This commentary reminds me of a great class in U S diplomatic history that I took at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign with Professor Norman Graebner in the mid 1960s. He told us the story of the creation of the Monroe Doctrine and I’ve been a fan of John Quincy Adams ever since.
John Quincy Adams was among our best presidents outside of the office itself -- he did more when he was not president than he did when he was in office.
