John Quincy Adams’ wife was the only first lady born in a foreign country—England. She played the harp, wrote satirical plays and raised silkworms. Andrew Jackson’s wife was a bigamist, having married Jackson before she was divorced from her first husband...

i figured i’d dump the whole paragraph.

have NO IDEA what one has to do with the other lol.

Martha Washington, as she was born a subject to the King of England on English soil, which, happily and blessedly for us, was converted into United States soil partly because of her British-born husband.
