Dolley Madison is famously known for saving a portrait of George Washington during the British attack on the White House in 1814. As the British troops approached, she insisted on retrieving the large painting from the walls, ensuring it would not be destroyed. Her actions not only preserved an important national symbol but also highlighted her role in American history as a strong and resilient First Lady.
