I think most historians would agree who the most hated First Lady in American history was and she was not Hillary Clinton.The honor goes to the wife of one of our most beloved and famous presidents, Abraham Lincoln. Her maiden name was Mary Todd and she was seated next to her husband when he was assassinated. What happened to her following her husbands death is a national shame. There was no mechanism in place to care for a First Lady so she was thrown out of the White House and eventually died in poverty. She had been considered uppity for kicking the good out boys out of the White House, decorating the place to meet peoples expectations and she was fashionable, dressing the part of a presidents wife. Every presidential couple since then has benefited from what she began.
When I see Sen. Clinton being insulted daily I think of my ancestor Mary Todd and the small minds she had to endure knowing full well those slinging insults would not have the guts to do what either of them did.
