John Adams Presidency Description When George Washington receded from the Presidency, he left a huge role to fill in. Through a steady support in New England, John Adams narrowly defeated Jefferson in 1796 and became the next President of the United States of America. Adams is best known for keeping the peace while in office and continuing the American policy of neutrality started by his predecessor, George Washington. This was important for the still young Nation and Adams?s handling of foreign and domestic affairs changed history forever.
