john quincy had a photograph of her. i am not 100% sure of that but you should check the portraits volume of the adams papers. >> our producer is telling me no photos. they spent a long time looking. we have about three minutes left. john quincy dies a dramatic death. >> first of all, one reason why life was him i think, better for them at the end, the public attitude toward them have changed. admirers call him old man eloquent. his career in congress was an expression of that dogged commitment to principle, even at the risk of unpopularity. at the end, it he won some of his battles. repealing the gag role that slavery had imposed on congress. he became an immensely respect to elder statesman. in february 1848, on the floor of the house, one member of congress looked over in his direction and said, mr. adams is dying. , hefour head had flushed tried to stand and fell over. he was carried to the speaker's office, just off the floor of the house. henry lay -- clay came to visit. louisa came, and he did not recognize her. s

i live in quincy, mass. and we are very lucky see and experience the adam's life of close every day. my comment would be about abigail sentiment about remembering the ladies. i think she pretty much -- women can change destinies, of nations and the world if they said their mind to it. it is very important because women are the primary factors in breeding of the children. -- in bringing up the children. she was instrumental in the constitution and the forming of this nation. quincey is actually called the birthplace of the american dream. she may not be formally recognized, but she definitely had a very important role in shaping women's place in this country and in history. >> thank you. the caller was from quincey. we will taking next to the quincey home as they prepared to tell you the story of the revolutionary times. >> the story of abigail lagens -- abigail adams is a story of sacrifice and commitment to country. for the first 10 years, they lived in this column, from 1764-1774. it is where they raise th

when she was in quincy, she could. she was in quincy, that time, a house they built together called peace field. let's take a look at. you in 1787, abigail realized they had outgrown the little college at the foot of the hill. she began to knee herb gate through her cousin to purchase the house we're stand in front of now. john adams enjoyed a lot of peace and tranquility at this home as did abigail. she christened his home peace field. there were two room on the first floor, two rooms on the second, three smaller bedrooms on the third floor and a small kitchen. there were seven and a half rooms to this home. this was john and abby gill's home base. before becoming first lady. abigail would spend nine years in the house. the first year she was setting up the house after just returning from europe. she had remembered this house as one of the grand houses in quincy but hir perception of grand had changed since living in europe. she became though right away making plans to enlarge the house and wanted to improve on the si

perhaps due to john quincy's teasing. he only gave abigail a little bit of information about louisa catherine. he was not forthright in his intentions. it was a surprise that he married louisa catherine so quickly. abigail did not get a chance to know her. she was quite concerned, although she was an american citizen, she had never been on american soil. this was not what she intended for her son. through time, she learned to grow and love and understand louisa catherine. through the years, they forged a very strong relationship. louisa catherine describing abigail adams as the planet around which all revolved. louisa catherine and john quincy, unlike john adams, if not live at peace field year- round. summerly returned in the to get a relief from the politics of washington. her grandson, henry adams, remembered louisa catherine fondly. in his works, the education of the adams, he described louisa catherine and her role in this house and relationship with the family. he felt that she was the odd man out, because she was b

i wouldn't go too far on john quincy's sourness. is affection between the two of them and great love. otherwise she could have stayed in quincy. >> after they lost, i think, the daughter, is it true he gave her a book on the diseases of the mind? >> some months later, yes. >> it's the modernize, the insensitivity. he is certainly not a modern husband. louisa had by one count nine miscarriages. >> minimum five and a stiff birth, officially more. they are sometimes hard to read into it because of how discreet they are with their language. at least five with a still birth. she had a lot of tragedy. >> and three sons who lived to maturity. >> if you can call it maturity. >> speaking of their family, brian watkins asked on twitter, did having a former first lady as a mother-in-law help or hinder louisa? >> of course, abigail had passed by the time john quincy attained the presidency, so she can't ask her mother-in-law about handling the role and the role had somewhat shifted. louisa generally follows the presence that monroe set, not att

you can imagine what lincoln must have had for john quincy adams. john quincy adams shortly into his tenure dies on the house floor probably right in front of abraham lincoln and i started the book talking about that because it is a good analogy. lincoln's generation, that fights the civil war, the first generation that doesn't have the benefit of the council, the founding generation. all these people with all this experience running the american government, this experience compromising on some very serious issues and putting things together, they were gone, left to settle these questions on their own so lincoln with john quincy adams talked to a man named alexander stephens who goes on to serve as vice president of the confederacy. how many people have seen the lincoln movie? it is an excellent movie. when lincoln is in negotiations on the river at the end and talking to the commissioner from the confederacy, one of those is alexander stephens who is lincoln's best friend in the house of representatives, they were both whigs in the days before poli

but particularly for john quincy adams. and she was very defensive of them. i think this is one of the reasons why the relationship with jefferson is so difficult because she had really loved thomas jefferson as a friend and she believed jefferson turned on her husband. >> how did she express her support of her husband? >> she went there. she was with him all of the time. when he needed her, she was there. >> was there an avenue for her to respond to the press? >> not that i can think of. her avenues to responding to the press was that she was in favor of the sedition laws. she liked the idea of curtailing the press. >> let's take our next phone call from oka raton, florida. >> good program. thank you for taking my call. i am a member of the press. two callers tonight kind of insinuated that she was not a good matter. i believe john quincy was a leading abolitionist and here we are following american history. whether it is the kkk doing their thing in the south today, the john birch society, the tea party now which is 97% caucasian, can we at least give abiga

the treaty--john quincy adams standing at center in a short jacket. the treaty can be summed up in a latin phrase. it was status quo antebellum. the way things were before the board, no territory changed hands, very little change. psychologically and politically, it was something of a watershed. while this proved a memorable war i want to make the case was an important war in shaping the american character. we stood up for ourselves. was david and goliath, and although we did not knock it to the ground world's expectations and our own self-confidence as a nation was altered as a result of the war. it might be useful to explain to mr. and mrs. madison in the title, it is a function of chronology. madison was president when the war began, his declaration began it so he got the blame and eventually whatever credit there was. in new england, no one really wanted to go to war. it would interfere with trade and politicians as the region was known were mostly merchants so the new england pamphleteer quickly dubbed the conflict mr. madison's war simply discus

on november 19, 1996, a 19-seat united express flight landing in quincy, illinois, collided with another twin-engine turbo prowp prawp that was taking off. they slammed into each other at the intersection of two runways, killing 14 people aboard the two planes. the national transportation safety board concluded the probable cause was a failure of the pilots in the outbound flight to monitor the radio frequence for air traffic and properly scan for other planes. if a tower was there, it's highly likely the accident would have been prevented, said hannah, who became director of the quincy airport two years after the crash. the 238 air traffic control facilities that could be closed were chosen because they are at airports less than 150,000 flight operations per year and they are located in every state. again, mr. president, the point of this amendment is not whether or not i find the right words to convince my colleagues to allow this amendment to come to a vote. and as much as i struggle through the morning hours trying to figure out what those might be, the real issue here is not about m
