Abigail AdamsMy Dear Son... remember that you are accountable to your Maker for all your words and actions.
Abigail AdamsIf 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.
