Question

Describe TWO things about the laws in the United States that Abigail Adams most likely wanted to change during her lifetime.

Answer 1

Abigail Adams was one of only two women to have been both wife and mother to two U.S. presidents (the other being Barbara Bush). Often separated from her husband due to his political work, the self-educated Abigail oversaw the family’s household and largely raised their four children on her own, all the while maintaining a lively lifelong correspondence with her husband on the political issues of the day. She was also famous for her early advocacy of several divisive causes, including women’s rights, female education and the abolition of slavery.

Answer 2

She believed women should take more part in decisions rather than simply serve their husbands.

Abigail was always trying to fight for ending slavery.
