By the time the Declaration of Independence was adopted in July 1776, the Thirteen Colonies and Great Britain had been at war for more than a year. Relations between the colonies and the mother country had been deteriorating since the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763. The war had plunged the British government deep into debt, and so Parliament enacted a series of measures to increase tax revenue from the colonies. Parliament believed that these acts, such as the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Townshend Acts of 1767, were a legitimate means of having the colonies pay their fair share of the costs to keep the colonies in the British Empire.[6]

Abigail Adams was born in the North Parish Congregational Church in Weymouth, Massachusetts, on November 11, 1744, to the Rev. William Smith and Elizabeth (née Quincy) Smith. On her mother's side she was descended from the Quincy family, a well-known political family in the Massachusetts colony.

Abigail Adams by Benjamin Blythe, 1766

Although John Adams had known the Smith family since he was a boy (he and Abigail were third cousins[2]), he paid no attention to the delicate child nine years his junior.

Although Abigail's father approved of the match, her mother was appalled that a Smith would throw her life away on a country lawyer whose manners still reeked of the farm; eventually she gave in.

In 10 years she gave birth to six children: Abigail ("Nabby") (1765–1813) John Quincy Adams (1767–1848) Susanna Boylston (1768–1770) Charles (1770–1800) Thomas Boylston Adams (1772–1832) Elizabeth (stillborn in 1777)

In 1784 she and her daughter Nabby joined her husband and her eldest son, John Quincy, at her husband's diplomatic post in Paris.

Abigail Adams died on October 28, 1818, of typhoid fever, several years before her son became president.
