He romanticized the common people, in a way more conservative men of his time did not. His religious bent was decidedly unorthodox. He had a rather progressive opinion of slaves and slavery, even though he did own slaves- I cannot remember when he freed them. He was a very free thinker for his time. And his free thinking seemed "liberal" for his times- imo, of course. Adams seemed like a much more conservative man- thought certainly not the most conservative. There was a reverend whose letters I read recently in one of the books on the revolution, and he struck me as quite the conservative fellow.
