We will spend our time together in the years 1750-1818 to understand Adams as a young woman in the New England colonies, a supporter of American independence, an advisor to her husband and First Lady of the United States. Through images, discussion, and primary sources the learners will gain an understanding of who Abigail Adams was and role she played in the early years of the United States. We will look at important locations in her life, read some of her own words and create a letter to Abigail Adams based on her life and legacy. The course will be taught using Google slides, images, discussion and websites mentioned in the External Resources section. Bring some paper to write on, a pencil, and an open mind to learning history!
