Abigail+Adams

Abigail Adams by:Hannah Abigail Adams was born on 1744 in Weymouth, Massachusetts. When Abigail was 20 she married John Adams. Within a year Abigail had a child named Abigail. While John was away she gave birth to another child, John Quincey. In 1767 John moved the family to Boston to be closer to his work. While in the streets Abigail heard the news about the Boston Massacre. This frightened her because she thought that her son could have been killed . A few nights later there was a town meeting, but women were not allowed so she had to listen out her window. At that time the tea was on the boats in the harbor. At the meeting it was said that the colonies did not have to pay for taxes for tea.That night a group of men dressed like Indians and dropped the tea into the water. While the men were fighting for independence, Abigail gave tired " minute men" a place to rest and food. After the men won the independence Abigail died in 1818, right before her 74th birthday.
