Abigail Adams

I am Abigail Adams and I am known as the female Founding Father. I am one of the historical voice-over-talent figures here at American History Live. You can schedule me to teach your students all about American History, as well as other topics, like my life!

I am an advocate for women’s rights, education, and against slavery. As it was written in the Declaration of Independence I believe in the equal rights of all people.

I am the wife of the second President, founding father John Adams, and mother of the sixth President, John Quincy Adams. You may remember my famous letters to my husband, which influenced his policies!
