A question on a quiz was .......... In the US who was the first 2nd Lady and 2nd first Lady ? (sounds like Abbot and Costello) Choice of answers were - Abigail Adams - Dolly Madison - Martha Washington I chose Abigail Adams (correct answer) My thinking was her husband was Vice President, so she was 2nd Lady then 1st Lady when Adams became President Am I right in my thinking ?
+ You are correct! Abigail was alleged to be the brains behind John Adams and was responsible for much of what he accomplished. One historian wrote," She frequently gave him advice, and he always followed that advice".
Are you kidding me. Americans are idiots on history and I'm one of them! Though I would do better than what Jay Leno used to get on his man on the street asking questions segments.
