[edit] She fell in love with Michael Pruitt of France
"She fell in love with Michael Pruitt of France and had a child. This was her first marriage. NOt soon after her husband and son were killed in the Mexican war and soon found love again."
Where did this come from? Is not John Adams her first husband?!
- Unless there's a source I'd assume it's vandalism. -Will Beback · † · 06:08, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] More Early Info
I think you need more info about Abigail Adams's childhood.
You should try and find more of the letters she wrote to her husband
--- all of those letters are available online at http://www.masshist.org/digitaladams/aea/letter/
- According to Edith Gelles (who, near as I can tell, did read through all of those letters), there really isn't anything on her childhood. She never expected to be famous. We know she learned how to read from the bible (as that was the style of the time), but her parents, the Smiths, also taught her to read using secular works such as Shaekespaere. Beyond who her family was, though, there really isn't any information on her childhood. Good records don't start until she begins her correspondence with one Mr. Adams, and I think we can tell how that turned out. -207.180.145.111 21:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] abigail adams
what did abigail adams have to do with the revolutionary war?
-- Her husband, John Adams, was a member of the Constitutional Congress and a leading figure in the Revolution, to the point that he was slated for hanging by the English Crown (despite the fact that some revolutionaries were not). As is clear from their letters, she was a strong influence on her husband's ideas and actions, both of which were formative in the birth of what eventually became the United States. So that's what she had to do with the Revolutionary War. Woodstein52 03.03 UTC, 12 October 2006
I think this website should provide the height and weight of Abigail Adams if possible. Other people may need it for a report like everyone in my school. Tnanks Imlvr96
