Sir, I have some concern regarding your notes. John Adams played a vital role in winning the colonies' votes for independence in continental congress held in Philadelphia and advocated for independence with vigor when Mr. Dickinson was trying hard to stop the declaration of independence. He even proposed the name of General George Washington to lead the continental army. He served as the vice president under the presidency of George Washington although there is an opinion that he could have won the 1st presidential election but some conspirators(one of them was surely Alexander Hamilton) wanted to elect George Washington unanimously. He is regarded as founding father of USA along with some others and later on elected as the 2nd president of USA yet there is no mention of John Adams in your valuable notes and you even merged his tenure in George Washington's two terms. In your notes, George Washington ruled from 1789 to 1801 whereas he was elected for two terms from 1789 to 1797 and after him, John Adams ruled from 1797 to 1801. Under the main heading of George Washington's achievements and subheading of XYZ affairs, you have mentioned that Alexander Hamilton demanded to wage war against France but John Adams refused. Alexander Hamilton tried his best to convince John Adams to wage war against France as he was inclined towards good relations with England rather than France. Now here, again, John Adams was president and not George Washington.
