This week on Security Dilemma, we're taking an episode to explore the history of the namesake for The John Quincy Adams Society with a historian who has a new book out on the subject. John Allen Gay has a conversation with Jeffrey A. Denman about his new book - John Quincy Adams, Reluctant Abolitionist.

The words of John Quincy Adams have inspired foreign policy thinkers for generations, and they continue to inspire today.

Wherever the standard of freedom and independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will [America’s] heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own." - John Quincy Adams, 1821

But how did the sixth president, one of the most vocal American antebellum political figures opposing both slavery and foreign intervention abroad, actually think about slavery? We explore that question today.

You can order the book here.
