I'm just confused as to what freedom and rights were how they were specified in Abigail Adam's letters to her husband and how they expected to go about giving these rights to newly born America.
Although freedom is not a major theme in the letters, at least I don't see it, it is implied about America as a nation. This book features a loving, passionate, committed couple, and although it's not literally their "child," something is born in the book—America itself. During the course of their letter writing, we see John Adams decisions to pursue independence, the strategy of recruiting representatives from the states for the Continental Congress that penned the Declaration of Independence after voting to withdraw from British rule. We see John Adams during the Revolutionary war, as a political target in wartime, and then we see him serving the fledgling American state as a politician.
