i think that rosemary sagari in revolutionary backlash also uses the abigail adams mercy, otis warren political relationship in a very effective way. that's another great angle to understanding her and i think woody holton's assessment of abigail as this savvy bond speculator kind of bit of an inside trader maybe for the 18th century is a really interesting. look at women's economics citizenship something we explored a little today. i do want to just add just briefly. there's another way into understanding these women's lives. that's their own words. so lou catherine adams takes a stab at autobiography fairly early on she has one very anodyne version of this called record of a life, but then the title that tells us so much is her second try at autobiography and that is adventures of a nobody and you can read both of them in our letter press editions here and the diary in autobiographical writings of louisa catherine adams she also pops up from time to time reflected in her husband john quincy's diary. so there's an interesting cameo always look to the president's papers to see how the

abigail adams herself. mrs. adams, the recitation of a few moments ago of your letter that will resonate throughout the ages is indication of the influence that you have had not only in your own time but will continue to have. you know, they refer to another, the founding fathers. do not forget the founding mothers. >> you do flatter, mr. jefferson. perhaps we should move on to the next question. >> you both sailed separately to europe in 1784. what were your shared experiences while in france and then later in england? >> we almost sailed together. >> that was your intention. and it was much appreciated. that you would try and intercept me. this was when i was in boston to book passage to come and join mr. adams after a five-year absence from one another. mr. jefferson, i remember you coming and making yourself known to me and saying that you would travel with me to see that all of my needs were met aboard ship. for my husband had cautioned me that being on a ship was no place for a lady. but you did not have pa

and abigail adams and her famous letter of 1776. she's back in massachusetts and rights to her husband john adams in philadelphia. i remember the duties, and she was talking a lot of people think what she was talking about. there was a soft was suffrage women's right to vote. she was talking about an issue larger than that actually temperature which is the idea that we inherited from british common law that a married woman took on her husband's civil identity upon marriage. so a married woman couldn't own her own property was not the legal guardian of her own children. couldn't own her own business in her own name couldn't sue or be sued, so she was hoping that in the new laws that those declaring independence in july 1776. she was hoping that in the new laws that were being declared there would be a rejection of that old british common law idea and there was not we don't have state laws being passed to overturn covature until the decades leading up to the civil war. 1839 is the first one but most famously the most far-reaching of t

this is abigail adams now. i thank you, mr. jefferson. and welcome to you as i myself and welcome here. i look forward to our conversation mrs. adams if you will a chair. thank you, sir, please join. i thank you indeed. well. i'm very curious as to hear what we will be asked of today and considering the length of time. we have known one in the other and of course. my mutual friend and your dear husband john adams. so shall we engage the first question? ms what had each of you heard about the other before you knew each other and what were your impressions when you first met? yeah, well, i i suppose i heard of you long before i actually met you in particular when my husband was attending the grand congress in philadelphia the continental congress where he and mr. jefferson became most well acquainted and john. to adams was forever writ. ing about your skill with the pins sir in addition to the arguments and compromises be worked out in that sweltering heat. it was terribly hot and during all of the congresses, but particularly the extension

abigail adams herself. oh, mrs. adams! just to recitation a few moments ago. your letter that will resonate throughout the beaches is indication of the influence that you've had not only in your own time but we'll continue to have. you know, they reboot virtually these as the founding fathers. please do not forget the founding mothers. >> perhaps we should move on to the next. >> he both failed separately to europe in 1784. where we are shared experiences and. >> we almost set it together. >> that was your intention and it was much appreciated that he would try and intercept me. this was when i was in boston to book passage to join mr. adams after a five-year absence from one another and mr. jefferson. i remember you coming and making yourself known to me and saying that you would travel with me to see that all of my needs were met aboard ship for my husband had cautioned me about being on the ship was no place for a lady. but you did not have passage on the active as i did. i have already paved my way and spoken with the captain and could not pull out for we

women such as martha washington, abigail adams, and dolley madison. how they influence the role. >> yes we know there was nothing in the constitution about what's president should do so the decisions made in the very beginning works important. and i think the most important one was the decision, i don't think any of the three women you named had anything to do with that, but the decision was made that the president's home would also be his office. so when george washington was inaugurated here in new york city within walking distance really of where i am sitting martha was not there. she was still in virginia. but she came up a couple of weeks later, and she did not come into a quiet reception. of course, then in 1789, to get across from new jersey who had to go -- even george washington bring his wife across. she arrived to a 13 gun salute, like a celebrity, and then within days she was giving a reception at the home, for people who were invited. so she became a very public figure at the very beginning. and people paid attention. i mean when you comp

ladies women such as martha washington abigail adams and dolly madison and how they influenced the role. yes, as we know there was nothing in the constitution about what the wife of the president should do. so those decisions made at the very beginning were extremely important and i think the most important one probably was they decision. i don't think any of those three women you named had anything to do with that, but the decision was made that the president's home would also be his office. so when george washington was inaugurated here in new york city within walking distance really of where i'm sitting martha was not there. she was still in virginia, but she came up a couple weeks later, and she didn't come into a quiet reception. of course then in 1789 to get across from new jersey you had to take a ferry. he didn't george washington did not bring his wife across on just a plain boat. he said the presidential barge and she arrived to a 13 gun salute like a celebrity. and the very next within days she was giving a reception at the home for people who were invited so she became a ver

abigail adams is a patriot. here are a few lines. "my son, these are the times in which a genius would which to live. it is not in the still call --calm of life that great characters are formed. great necessities callout great borchers -- great virtues and formed the character of the hero. " if you got a letter like that from your mother, what would you do? you would get on that boat. john quincy does. the founders hammered out their constitution in philadelphia and identified certain rights as the bedrock of our democratic republic. freedom of religion. freedom of speech. freedom of the press. the right to assemble. we used to know this history and honor the men and women who made it possible. many people today are either ignorant of these facts or they do not have the guts to defend it. the crisis in our streets, our schools, is an assault on memory and a crisis of courage. that mazes vulnerable to propaganda, to the demagogue -- that makes us vulnerable to propaganda, to the demagogue. george orwell warned about this "he who contr

there were many keen or politicians, abigail adams was a much more keen politician.i don't think i would say she moved the meter very far along that way. i happen to have the best book about the wilson women. so this is kristie millionaires biography. great place to look for that -- >> next one from colleen. is the office of the first lady primarily a rhetorical office? anyone? >> diana? >> as the resident here, if you think about rhetoric from the last definition, what it means is the make choices about your available means of persuasion, your influence. i don't know if primarily is the, word that everything that is done by a first lady has rhetorical power. in that, sense it under herds. everything even who is invited, who was seated next to whom. and madison was great at that, as some of these other first ladies with seating charts together. you have certain purposes for that. that's a rhetorical choice. you know, fashion, using american designers to make a point about american designers, especially in the early years. and we still do that. so every choice that th

i think there were many keener politicians abigail adams was a much more keen politician sarah polk as we've heard of so much more keen politician. so i don't think that i would say she moved the meter very far along that that way i happen to have the best book about the wilson women. so this is a christy miller's biography joint biographies are really good place to look for the audience member who asked that question. okay next one from colleen is the office of the first lady primarily a rhetorical office. anyone, that's diana. well as the resident rhetorician here, you know if you think about rhetoric from the classical definition what it basically means is that you make choices about your available means the persuasion or influence when you choose the best one for the situation, and i don't know. yeah if primarily is the word but everything that is done by a first lady has rhetorical power. so in that sense, it's sort of undergirds everything. so even who is invited who's seated next to whom and you know, dolley madison was great at that as were some of these other first light age a

listen to the words of abigail adams writing to her son during the war. she was trying to persuade her son to get on a boat come across the atlantic, and join his father in france to help the cause of freedom. john quincy adams want to go he wanted to go to harvard. his mother has a different sense of obligations, here is a piece of what she wrote. these are the times it was a genius would wish to live. it is not in the stone column of life the great characters have formed, the habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties, contending with difficulties and great necessities call out great virtues inform the character of the hero and statesman. i put the question to you, if you got a letter like that from your mother what would you do? he would get on the boat. you know you would. the character of the hero and statesman is forged in the fires of a great contest. a great difficulty in the crucible of war, and war has come upon them. with a reliance on providence we pledged our lives and fortunes and our sacred honor. the greatest poli

and that is accompanied by a portrait of her mother-in-law, abigail adams. and the inscriptions on them were really great. they are in the hand of john quincy adams, and it records their names other dates, and this is really very important for silhouettes. because silhouette do not give you a lot of information. unlike the portrait or the painted portrait, that we have up on the screen right next to the silhouette. the painted portrait fills in a lot of information on what the silhouette looks like. but with the silhouette you only have the outer outline of it so the inscription is very helpful. these silhouettes are suspended in the adams family, so it's a very nice way of understanding both public portraiture, in the form of a beautiful painting like this by charles robert leslie. he was an artist, he was born in colonial america. colonial british america. traveled to london, and studied at the royal academy under benjamin west. another expatriate colonial. who is teaching painting their. and, a painting like this really shows, louisa adams, in a very regal

. >> actually, if you read the wording, they really couldn't teach 1976 because abigail adams' letter to the husband -- would be illegal. >> they don't even start in 1776. >> i'm telling you what the bill says. >> this is part of the problem. >> which is part of the problem. >> if you attack critical race theory and actually not talk about what's being taught in class which is the truth about american history we have this dilemma which is vaguely, poorly written, quickly written bill, that makes absolutely positively no sense. >> we'll find out the truth about the bill in iowa, and then we'll tell you. >> have fun reading it. >> coming up next, a bloody crime wave has the public terrified. and biden blames the last administration. so, you have diabetes, here are some easy rules to follow. no. you know what you want? no fettuccine. no fries with that. no foods you love. no added salt. no added sugar. in a can? you can-not. no pizza. have that salad. unless there's dressing. then, no. remember, no skipping meals. but no late-night snacking. and no sleepless nights! is this stressing you

john and abigail adams were so steeped in this massive doorstop novel.hroughout their letters for their entire lives, they would reprint people as characters. this in addition to them taking on pseudonyms from classics. none of this being outside of the protocol round. but being very much a part of the political realm is fascinating. mr. rosen: wonderful. we will try to keep track of these recommendations in the chat so folks can read them later. and, the vision of abigail and john as you say referring to themselves by classical students. bernadette, you have an inspiring article. as it happens, long ago i was reading the sources that inspired benjamin franklin to create his famous list of 13 virtues. they included daniel defoe's essay on projects, which i have not heard before. as well as cotton mather's on doing good. and, the latitude and sermons of john tillotson. defoe was not unfamiliar to many of us. there was a manual about how to be ingenious. tell us about why defoe was so important to the founding generation to his views on written constitutio

way of furnishing and the memories of the lives of everybody who has lived there from john and abigail adams on second it was the place where the head of nation extends hospitality to visiting heads of state. and third it's the home of the family day in and day out. slide sixth place on may 7th. 1964 mrs. johnson held the first meeting of the committee for the preservation of the white house recording in her diary quote. this is the day i had regarded as an emotional hurdle something to teach my mental muscles for and to jump over successfully. she later told me she was scared quote because they belonged to a world that i didn't belong to most of them are terrifically knowledgeable in their own fields, but i really felt i left there with some good friends unquote. she wanted the group to focus on adding american art to the white house and practical things like replacing precious rugs with good copies. she was always concerned about both beauty and practicality. slide 7 place of course mrs. johnson loved to beautify the environment and was the environmental first lady as julius swag has so ap

i said adams does have a partner her name is abigail. she is amazing. because adams is a public servantt and he sacrifices himself virtuously for his country he is away from abigail for a long time. because he is away for example off in france, there are lots of letters back and forth. if they had been in the same place, happily they would've loved to be in the same place. they really love each other and respect each other she's really smart and fun to read. but s because they are separated we have amazing letters back and forth between abigail and john. and between abigail and else and everyone and everyone else because it's really highly literate culture in a newspaper culture. >> one question i asked about linguistic diversity in the united states, a whole lot of german speakers. did these documents, to what extent were they translated into german language newspapers? spent because i don't speak german it didn't look at that. one third of pennsylvanians of the time of the declaration of independence are made of german speakers. german newspapers are r

we talk about abigail, and she is amazing and because adams is a public servant and he sacrifices himself virtuously for his country, he is a way from abigail for a long time, there are lots of letters back and forth. if they had been in the same place, they really love each other and they respect each other and she is really smart and fun to read so we have the amazing letters back and forth between everyone and everywhere else because it's really a newspaper culture. >> diversity in the united states to what extent where they translated. >> because i don't speak german, one third of pennsylvania are made of german speakers so as late as what i think is the first congress is, at least translating this into german and i can't remember a couple of them, but you may know because of our mutual friends at the new york historical society. our man, lincoln, he is the secret owner of a german language newspaper in springfield and they are about 10% of the population and secretly he is the owner of this newspaper and he doesn't have books in his home, but he reads newspapers wherever he can find

abigail: send me one --adam: send me one. kailey: adam jonas, thank you for your time.e will be discussing u.k. prime minister's johnson to delay opening of his country by four weeks with danny blanchflower. stay with us. this is bloomberg. ♪ mark: i'm mark crumpton with bloomberg first word news. president biden posco to enact is $4 trillion economic agenda enters a new difficult phase today. the house of representatives is back in session and democrats are ramping up pressure on the senate to produce a bipartisan compromise. one key challenge is that the fast-track budget process that progressives want to use will only be available if all 50 in the democratic senate caucus agreed to take the step. benjamin netanyahu is already talking a comeback. the israeli leader was voted out of office on sunday. he issued a warning as he addressed parliament in his last moments as prime minister, saying, we will be back soon. the new coalition will govern with the slimmest majorities, commanding 61 of parliament's 120 seats. the european union is testing investors appetites to fun

adams was disgusted by abigail even more so by the presence of slaves building our city.which is quite ironic. because we did not have the money we would have to rely on slave labor. one interesting story fleshed out in the book is one of the folks who helped surveyed set it up was benjamin banneker a former slave and self-taught astronomer. her work with andrew ellicott is kind of poetic. adams was disgusted by the side of slaves building the city. only six rooms the white house were finished. the roof leaked. there's no place for abigail to hang her laundry, to get running water in the building or raked of fresh plaster. every night and all day there is a hammering and sawing of construction produce not the city it was. but adams recognize, adams did not play hardly roll it any of this capitol city debate which is odd because john adams was intimately involved in every decision for years and the founding of this country. but not in the capitol. but he doesn't recognize washington's external revision. and he does recognize that he is a front row seat to history. as he mo

adams is going to win. he's a political guinea pig for the progressive left. people like abigailnberger, the congresswoman from virginia, said we almost didn't keep the majority in the house of representatives in 2020 because of all this radical leftist rhetoric. maybe they'll pay attention to someone like maya wiley losing. >> jesse: there is ranked voting? >> dana: in new york city, the first time. >> jesse: that sounds confusing. >> dana: [laughs] >> jesse: i'm going to have a problem with my ballot. >> greg: it is pretty rank. >> jesse: coming up, kamala harris bombs on her answer about not going to the border. >> you haven't been to the border. >> and i haven't been to europe. i mean, i don't understand the point that you're making. >> jesse: that's next on "the five." alright, guys, no insurance talk on beach day. -i'm down. -yes, please.
