About Me
Paragraph 1 I was born on November 11, 1744 in Weymouth, Massachusetts. I got married to John Adams on October 25th, 1764 when I was 19 years old. We moved to Braintree Massachusetts and got our first house. She raised four children, Abigail, John Quincy, Charles, and Thomas Boylston. I ran the household when my husband was away in Boston. When John went to Pennsylvania in 1774 to serve in the colonies First Continental Congress but Abigail remained home sending letters. Her letters told about many things. Some letters told how she was struggling with wartime problems; run the farm with no help, and to teach her four children with good education. She mostly told him about her loneliness. I also helped John, giving him advice for the continental congress. In one of her letters she asked John to “Remember the Ladies“.

Paragraph 2 When the colonies were fighting for independence I was chosen in 1775 with Mercy Warren and the governor’s wife Hannah Winthrop who helped the Massachusetts Colony General Court. We helped find who were loyalists and who were patriots who would help them in the war. At the time this group of women were the most important group who held the most important position in government. As the second continental congress debated on the Declaration of Independence, I began a new form of government to press arguments in letters to John, which helped make an equal statue for women and men. My letters were soon known for women’s equal rights. John went to France then to England for his diplomatic service in 1778. My daughter Nabby and I traveled to see John In Paris. I got to meet Jefferson Franklin, who I dislike, but I also got to meet Thomas Jefferson, who I liked. In 1788 John, Nabby and I all returned to America.

Paragraph 3 John was elected vice-president under President George Washington. I became very good friends with Martha Washington. In 1796, John was elected president and I became the first lady of the United States. I am so worried that people will not like me because I’m not like Martha Washington. I have strong feelings on Political issues which I protested on slavery and for equal rights for all people, including black people and women. I also think that people should get proper education. I am was sure to give John the women's perspective on all issues. She paved a way for future first ladies to speak their minds and fight for causes that they think are important.
