John Quincy Adams American

Of the three American Peace negotiators, John Quincy Adams was the most serious of the delegation. He studied for at least five hours a day, woke up before dawn, and retired around nine. He had "little talent for society", and was often quite judgmental of his fellow ambassadors. Moderately disagreeable and overly formal, he had difficulty getting along with his fellow delegates during their stay in Russia, but he later came to be admired by all of them for his wit and sincerity. He became president of the United States in 1824.
