according to their son-in-law, playwright george middleton, except john adams with his abigail, no man in public life was to have so equal a mate. books, articles, essays, a short film, and plays, including a full-length musical, all hail belle lafolle tte as the little woman behind the man. and only a few go so far as to recognize her as an important reformer in her own right. and no account, until now, reveals the depth and range of her interests, her ambitions and activism and the contributions she made to meaningful progressive reform. so, lesson two -- don't believe everything that you read or hear. upon her death in 1931, newspapers across the nation hailed belle lafollette for herseher selfless ness, her willingness to remain out of the public eye, her contentment in eschewing a career for herself in favor of tearing out a higher calling, that of wife and mother. she had a masculine mind, one back-handed accolade conceded. but then quickly praised her for being essentially feminine, maternal. like that old compliment, you don't sweat much for a fat girl. another tribute conclude

near christchurch at the corner of second and market and it was in the year 1776 that john adams wife abigailtes a letter to him that says in the new code of laws which i suppose it will be necessary for you to make, i desire you would remember the ladies and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. do not put unlimited power in the hands of the husbands. remember all men would be tyrants if they could. and that is pretty much the quote that inspired me to tell these stories and to aspire other people to these stories. i've been working here for about 13 years and it's important to remember more than ben franklin. i love benjamin franklin and he's the person that gets people in the gate but it's my job and the job of my tour guidehere to tell about the other people who they will never learn about who have fallen through the cracks of history, who were just as important and just as relevant to our history as the founding fathers . without the founding mothers they would be no founding fathers. ... >> and where live again at the city house in philadelphia as we await comments

adams had been ambassador to britain. as ambassador to britain, he was called xeexcellency, as was abigail, called excellency in britain. and i found evidence that when abigail was back in the united states after that, she was still getting correspondence addressed to "her excellency," mrs. john adams. so, she was still excellency to some of her friends, probably her friends in britain. >> okay. well, i'm going to ask one more question, and then we're going to turn it to the audience. so, please get your questions ready. but one other thing that's just been on my mind with the current presidential election. there's arguably a better chance that there will be a woman elected president this year than any other time. and i wondered, if hillary clinton was elected president, would there be a new presidential title controversy? do you think there would be another debate or do you think it's pretty settled what she would be called? >> well, many women are with many organizations and are president and they're called madam president. i would assume that she would be called madam president, and i don't think there would be a who

john adams went home that night and wrote a lovely letter to his wife abigail and say 2nd of july wewo days later, the congress adopted jefferson's declaration which explained the reasons why they had that vote two days earlier. but when american people saw the declaration with the date at the top, july 4th, it instantly became recognized as a birthday. john adam, by the way, did not celebrate the fourth. >> he stood his ground and said july 2nd, right? >> he stood his ground but he was alone in that pretty much. >> maybe he just likes to keep the party going. just go from the 2nd to the 4th. >> we could have that argument this should always be a three day holiday. >> i like that. >> fireworks is a huge part of the celebrations as country. where did that tradition come from? >> fireworks are as old as gun powder and the chinese, of course, invented gun powder and it's to celebrate bringing in a new year or the birth of a new country. the fact it's kind of like war without the war and that is an important point to remember. 1776, the nation is already at war. let's set the scene a lit
