John Quincy Adams was greatly responsible for Jay's Treaty. Jay's Treaty was unsuccessful in avoiding the War of 1812 and Adams received much blame.
In fact, he was doing what President Madison and then Secretary of State Monroe asked him to do.
The result of Jay's Treaty was that the U.S. felt Britain could not be trusted and a narrow vote was made for War.

Honestly, every President has problems. The things is that the media wasn't so obsessed with showing all of them off back then.
