Just been reading a biography on the man in question and, during his crossing of the Atlantic towards France, three British ships spotted the ship Adams was on, the Boston. The managed to escape, but say there's some bad luck and the British ships capture the ship and its occupants? This would prevent John Adams from reaching France, although an alliance had already been signed at this point. He was also one of the men who was set to be hanged by the British for treason, so most likely no happy ending for him.
Other than that, John Quincy Adams was on board and would likely be captred along with his father. What would happen to him in this event? Any thoughts?
