=Which character traits make Abigail Adams such a predominant figure in American history?=

Adams wants to give off a good ambiance when talking about her country. She wants herself as well as her people to have a good nationalistic view towards, and be proud of, their country. This shows she is a good patriot and wholeheartedly supports the country and its decisions. She respects the American cause, and strives to fight with it. She is the prime example of her definition of an American, and would be respected as an American today.

=Is there only one definition of an American?...Well, is there?=

No. There are roughly 6.5 billion different definitions of an American.

Food for thought, no? [|WorldPOP]
