If there are no checks to be resorted to in the Laws of the land,
And no reperation to be made to the injured,
Will not man become the judge and avenger of his own wrongs,
And the sword and pistol decide the contest?
All the Christian and Social virtues will be banished the Land,
All that makes Life desireable,
And softens the ferocious passions of Man will assume a savage
deportment,
And like Cain of old,
Every Mans hand will be against his neighbour...
Abigail Adams letter to Thomas Jefferson, 18 August 1804

Abigail Adams was 19 years old when she married John Adams. She was only a month short of being 20 years old.
They become one of the most influential couples in United States history.

One of my favorite books is her biography, “Those Who Love”, by Irving Stone.
