Abigail Adams for me was one of the greatest features of the
series I think that Laura Linney did a very good job and never overacted. At
the time women were extremely repressed and Abigail was quite outspoken being
one of the first to point out that how can the Americas free when slavery is
still in practice. Also Abigail famously said to remember the ladies. Abigail
is quite supportive of her husband but is never afraid to stand up to him and
gives him advice when she can. Abigail is a lot like John in that she is
passionate and not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for what is right.
However Abigail knows her boundaries and knows when she shouldn’t say something
and is also affectionate and friendly leaving a lasting a friendship upon those
she knew. Abigail is also shown as looking for the positives being the first
person to remind John Adams that he is vice president when he is ranting about
not being elected president. Abigail also manages to stay positive after the
loss of her children being portrayed as two in the series but was actually four
in real life.
