The Adams letters

I didn't plan on loving history as an adult, but since I've taken two semesters at Ivy Tech, that's exactly what's happened for me. I remember having read just a few of the letters in my class over a year ago; they were quite interesting for "primary documents." Most of the other primary documents were not, in my opinion. But these were different. These were love letters of historical importance which revealed a husband's love for his wife and vice-versa. They were much more than that as well. I also found myself respecting Abigail Adams, as a woman and as a figurehead in American history. She never wanted her personal letters published, but a grandson took it upon himself to do so anyway after her death. I find myself asking whether she'd be happy with the progress women have made since her time, whether Hillary Clinton's run for president wouldn't been a let down or a success, and what her thoughts would be concerning President Obama, the first black president.
