David McCullough helped raise John Adams out of the long shadow cast by America's other Founding Fathers by penning his biography which became one of the best selling biographies of all time and won McCullough the Pulitzer Prize. In these clips, McCullough traces his own history from Pittsburgh to New York and tells us why John and Abigial Adams are important enough to get their own HBO mini-series.

While John Adams was our second President, he still would have strong opinions about politics today, particularly the election. Are his thoughts still relevant?

Knowing our history helps us avoid the same mistakes those that came before us made while serving as a reminder of the blood, sweat and sacrifice that brought us here. David McCullough told us how much he thinks Americans know about their own history. What do you think?
