What potential liberty provokes thee most concern and outrage in Abigail? for whom does she want John to use his postion to protect and promote liberty
Abigail lobbied tirelessly for laws that would protect women from their husbands’ abuse. John, however, defended the legal authority given to men within the household.
If perticuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies, we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or representation.
Regard us then as Beings placed by providence under your protection and in imitation of the Supreem Being make use of that power only for our happiness.
