Apparently the Adamses and the Hamiltons (or at least Alexander Hamilton) absolutely LOATHED each other, and the feud continues to this day. I recently stumbled across an article written by a quote-unquote "Federalist," raging about the "feral tomcat" line in Hamilton, which is apparently "inaccurate shit" and part of "the Adams family's revenge against Alexander Hamilton," because Abigail was apparently "obsess[ed] with Hamilton's sexual conduct."

(Also, apparently Abigail Adams met Sally Hemings! When Jefferson sent his daughter to London he sent Sally along with her to be her nursemaid- they were about five years apart in age- and both girls turned up on Abigail's doorstep. She wrote a letter to Jefferson not long after saying basically "uhhh why have you sent this girl to take care of your child when she is obviously way too young to be taking care of anyone?")
