"Politics! Politics? And do women not live politics, John Adams? When I go to the cupboard and I find no coffee, no sugar, no pims, no meat, am I not living politics?"

  • I wish more of the people who go to Congress (both women and men) had a fraction of the sense that Abigail Adams had.

  • A woman's touch does politics well once in a while. But Hillary Clinton's not fit to hold Abigail Adams' flowery bonnet...

  • @teton99 Abigail was like this. If you have read your history you will no that she told Mr. Adams while he was in Congress to "Remember the Ladies" to give them rights. She also, as many people IN THE NORTH were at this time, starting to not like the concept of slavery and were slowly starting to speak out against it. I agree with Mr.GWilliams, this is how they would have interacted. She was an amazing woman.

  • What episode is this from?

  • HELLO YOUTUBE PEOPLE IF U GUS HAVE ANYOTHER INFO ON ABIGAIL ADAMS REPLY PLEASE I AM DOING A PROJECT!

  • "He's a complicated man, nobody understands him but his woman".

  • @teton99 Are you married? To me this is exactly how they must have interacted. A strong woman (who does not always see your side of things) is what makes life go around for me. Hell, last thing I want is a wife who won't put me straight when I need it.

  • I really think Laura Linney was poor casting for Mrs. Adams. Both people are polar opposites; I could never see Mrs. Adams in Linney’s performance. Linney is too far left & to me it seems she wants to impress a bit of toady’s modern views upon Mrs. Adams of the past, but Hollywood likes to do that. I thought her performance was anachronistic.

  • I love this woman! We need more women (and men) like her, nowadays! 

  • 0 people had their Southern friends upset...Bravo! :)

  • @paatela33 Frankly, I think - correction; know - that John Adams himself would have been the first to acknowledge that he, and the whole country, would have been lost without her.

  • @sacramenteens He didn't. But at this time, he had other things on his mind.
