Much of what I know of Adams's views on the French Revolution as it was happening is in reading parts of his letters to Thomas Jefferson as they appear in the book John Adams, by David McCollough. Adams was not against the revolution so much as he was against the extreme violence and methods that he pretty much equated as indiscriminate murder. He differed with Jefferson in this, as Jefferson held that the executions of the aristocracy and heads of institutions that supported them were necessary and signaled to the world there was no going back. Both Adams and Jefferson lost French friends to the revolution. Adams was of the opinion that the FR was resulting in replacing the tyranny of the few with the tyranny of the majority and that the excesses of the committee would lead to catastrophy in the end. Consequently, Adams developed a less than cordial esteem for the the leaders, while retaining hope for the French people in general. He had no love for the French agents the committee sent to America to drum up popular support for France and against Great Britain. These people caused serious problems for Adams as president and contributed greatly to the split in friendship with Jefferson that lasted for years.

Answer:
National Culture led to the infatuation of heroes in America by<em> influencing people in the form of movies, arts and write-ups. </em>
Explanation:
"National Culture" <em>refers to values, characteristics, beliefs, customs, etc. that people in a nation normally follows.</em> It becomes a standard that people share all-together. <u>It plays a vital role in shaping the nation, thus it influences the citizens in many ways.</u>
One of which, is the <em>infatuation of heroes in America. </em>This could either be the classic heroes or the modern fictional heroes. It is probably in the 1920s that America became more concerned about having a national identity, since it was during this time that movies, artists and writers became very popular. The influence of these elements greatly affected the country's national culture. For example, in the film industry, heroes were given priority. Audiences were smitten by the existence of heroes in America. This became a norm that influenced a national stereotype that "heroes are always good" and people greatly believed in it.
Such formation had a huge impact on the culture of America.
