Adams's life story encapsulates the history of the founding era, for she defined herself in relation to the people she loved or hated (she was never neutral): her mother, whom she considered
terribly overprotective; Benjamin Franklin, who schemed to clip her husband's wings; her sisters, whose dependence upon Abigail's charity strained the family bond; James Lovell, her husband's bawdy congressional colleague, who peppered her with innuendo about John's «rigid patriotism»; her financially naïve husband (Abigail earned money in ways the president considered unsavory, took risks that he wished to avoid — and made him a rich
man); Phoebe Abdee, her father's former slave, who lived free in an Adams property but defied Abigail's prohibition against sheltering
others even more desperate
than herself; and her son John Quincy, who worried her with his tendency to «study out of spight» but who fueled her pride by following his father into public service, rising to the presidency after her death.
