Chapter 6

This chapter was interesting to me because for the first time in all our readings so far Americans are making progress to gain freedom from Britain. I found it very interesting that Americans teamed up with France and became allies with them. This was interesting because the French once fought for American land but now just want to take down the British. Also in this chapter women are becoming more heard about in history. Women serve a point in the war and care for the men fighting by feeding,laundering and nursing soldiers. This is also the first time we see women fighting for more rights. Abigail Adams writes about how she wants more of a voice but her husband ignores her plea. She then said that property will remain in mans power because that is what authority says. This was really interesting to me because women wanted more rights this far back in history and still women continue today to fight for more rights.
