Oral Report: John and Abigail Adams

John worked in Boston and they were both apart from each other for most of the time.

Abigail worked with people and gave them food.

They moved away from Boston in case there was going to be a war.

When they got older they got together.

Abigail was married to the second President and John's job was to help the American Revolution and he was the president.

I felt like women should go to school because it's not fair that they didn't get to go; just boys. Abigail read books and had a homeschool. She wrote letters.

She helped people and gave them food and helped the Revolution.

I want to be my kids mom and take care of them as my most important job and learn about people and read books.

Patience on American History Sem 2: Colonial America, Revolutionary War.

After the Mayflower came and we turned into 13 colonies. South Carolina, Georgia, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Virginia, North Carolina, New York,
(then needed to look at the map for the rest, but knows the names)


They didn't want to pay money to get things [from King George] cause they had to pay extra money to get the same things that [people in England] got, but they didn't get to say how King George should spend it.

The colonists were mad and they made King George angry by throwing tea in the water [Boston Tea Party] and later they made that paper that said The Declamation of Independence and that made King George angry.

They had a war and they became their own country. America.
