Aftermath
Massachusetts sent Adams to the first and second Continental Congresses in 1774 and from 1775 to 1777. The Massachusetts delegation resolved to assume a large role in the first Congress. But Adams felt strongly that the conservatives of 1774, men like Joseph Galloway and James Duane, were no different than Hutchinson and Peter Oliver, and he denigrated such men, telling Abigail that Spiders, Toads, Snakes, are their only proper Emblems. "Yet at that point his views were similar to those of conservative John Dickinson. He sought repeal of objectionable policies, but at the early stage he continued to see positive benefits for America remaining part of the British empire."

Legacy
By 1800 the split between John Adams and the Hamiltonian wing of the Federalist party was complete. Adams dismissed the main Hamiltonians from his Cabinet, and Hamilton openly opposed Adams for reelection. But the President's peace were both enlightened statesmanship and good politics. The young nation was unprepared for any major war, and the possibility of serious internal conflict if the war program was continued seems to have been real. "Moreover, as various individuals reported, by late 1799 France was prepared for an honorable accommodation with the United States, so there was no longer reason for conflict. Politically, Adams's peace decision made comparable sense. The Federalist split no doubt weakened his chances in 1800, but the Jeffersonians were already scoring heavily in their attacks on Federalist policies. Continued defense of such policies would almost certainly have led to political disaster. In the end Adams lost the election to Jefferson by a narrow margin."
