Original Note:
John Adams was not an abolitionist. Despite being ideologically opposed to slavery, Adams supported gradualism and incremental reform, and promoted the incorrect idealist position that slavery would go away on its own. https://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-resources/spotlight-primary-source/john-adams-abolition-slavery-1801#:~:text=Adams%2C%20despite%20being%20opposed%20to,the%20practice%22%20of%20slavery%20itself.
