The fifth graders at Hayden's school were all required to do a biography on a historical American person. Hayden was assigned Mary Todd Lincoln, definitely not her first choice, she wanted Helen Keller or Laura Ingalls Wilder or Amelia Earhart or Annie Sullivan or Harriet Tubman or Debra Sampson or Susan B. Anthony, but she got a lady that was known for her craziness
Hayden had to write a report, make a huge poster with facts about her and dress as her the night of the Biography fair and be ready to answer questions that the parents might ask about Mary.
Did you know?......
- Mary was the 1st presidential wife to be referred to as the "First Lady"
- Mary was the first wife of a presidential candidate to travel with him to his rallies and speak out against her husband's opponents
- Mary put the White House in great debt with her spending habits. She bought 300 pairs of lace gloves in 4 months.
- She only had one child live to be an adult
- She tried to commit suicide 1 time
- And the thing she is most famous for, is her ability to say what she thought to her husband or anyone else that she didn't agree with, this made people think she was a little crazy as she would go off on rants.
