Adams would be very helpful as secretary of state and this would make it a lot easier to become president.

One of these agreements was called the Adams-Onis agreement, this made it so that the United States and Spain could agree on what land each of them owned.

The United States and Spain both lost land in this agreement that they wanted but they both felt that it was fair.

He also slowed down the United States in talking to new countries that use to be a part of Spain because he did not want Spain to be mad at them, have you had to do something so a friend would not get mad?
