	John Quincy Adams
		In 1803, Adams was elected to the Senate, nominally as a Federalist, but his repeated displays of independence on such issues as the Louisiana Purchase and the embargo caused his party to demand his resignation and ostracize him socially.
		Adams had ambitious plans of government activity to foster internal improvements and promote the arts and sciences, but congressional obstructionism, combined with his own unwillingness or inability to play the role of a politician, resulted in little being accomplished.

		John Quincy Adams Ward's bronze The Freedman realistically depicts the twisting, muscular body of a seminude fl man seated on a tree stump.
		Ward's statuette, which was originally modeled in plaster, conveys the slave's nobility through a combination of classical proportion and physiognomic precision.
		By contrast, Ward's The Freedman, ready to stand and be counted, is a heroic representation and a poignant reminder of America's history.

	Of Commerce and the Divine
		When an artist like Ward creates the figure of a woman (especially a personification such as Integrity), he may be portraying what psychologist Carl Jung would call an image of the anima.
		If the man sees his anima in a real woman, he must exercise all of his reason and restraint to understand that the anima is his fabrication, his vision of the energy of his inner possibilities.
		In the hands of an artist like Ward, such an anima figure may express the unknown possibility of the collective unconscious, the potential of the society for discovery and evolution.

		Although it is not documented when Ward began The Freedman, he probably was inspired to compose his statuette of a seated, semi-nude African-American man following Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, issued on September 22, 1862.
		Not only does this piece offer a commentary on the chief political and moral topic of the era, but it also proclaims Ward's abolitionist sentiments.
		Ward probably based his model on an African American from his hometown of Urbana, Ohio, or from his travels to the South in 1858.
