Abigail Adams - Liberty & Legacy
She is sometimes considered to have a founder of the United States and is now designated as the first Second Lady and second First Lady of The United States. Adam's life is one of the most documented of the first ladies: she is remembered for the many letters she wrote to her husband while he stayed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the Continental Congresses. John frequently sought the advice of Abigail on many matters, and their letters are filled with intellectual discussions on government and politics. In one of her more famous letters she implores her husband and his colleagues, all of whom were mate, to, "...remember the ladies...If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation." Her letters also serve as eyewitness accounts of the American Revolutionary War. About Sheryl Faye: Sheryl Faye is a full-time actress, a goal she has worked her whole life to achieve.
