How did Abigal Adams help with the Revolutionary War?
Abigail Adams (November 11, 1744-October 28, 1818) advocated and modeled an expanded role for women in public affairs during the formative days of the United States. Married to John Adams , she was an invaluable partner to him as he developed his political career, culminating in the presidency of the United States. She left a voluminous correspondence, providing information on everyday life and insight into the activities in the corridors of power during her time. Her letters show her to have been a woman of keen intelligence, resourceful, competent, self-sufficient, willful, vivacious, and opinionated-a formidable force. Her writing reveals a dedication to principle, a commitment to rights for women and for African-Americans, fierce partisanship in matters of her husband's and her family's interest, and an irreverent sense of humor.

Adams was not directly involved. The Son's of Liberty were organized and supported by two of the biggest smugglers in the colonies.

One of those was Dutch tea and until the British started tinkering with the price of tea they were doing very well, but the tax on the British tea was LOWERED so this made the price of the Dutch tea HIGHER. So, they arranged to have the boxes of tea thrown into Boston Harbor. This was an economic issue and not a political one and it makes sense when you think about it.

There was certainly some tension because of their differing methods.
