John Adams wanted to get back home because Abigail; his wife, was needing help with the farm and also he wanted to go home because he was never getting any thing by any thing he did.

Congress needed to make the declaration of independence from Great Britain, to get help winning the war, so a committee to consider the tone and the nature of the document was convened.

John Adams argued with John Dickinson in the Congress debate about independence, to break from both Parliament and King George III.

There was a surprise attack!

A flotilla of British boats had sailed into New York Harbor!

Finally, all of Congress endorsed

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE!

John gave Abigail an opening and she had no problem expounding her favorite topic...

women in the new nation.
