Abigail helped her husband and her son John Quincy Adams become president. She was the first lady of the White House. While there was a war right next to her house she let men from the war stay with her for a bit. She fed them and helped them get better so they could go and fight in the war again.
Abigail and her husband, John, went to London for three weeks. They went to museums and went sight seeing. While they were there they rented a mansion with more than forty rooms and it came with eight servants! While she was in London she got a pet songbird to keep her company.
