First Ladies
The role of First Ladies, the
wives of our Presidents, has always had a major impact upon
American politics and society. The charming Dolley Madison was
universally loved and respected, and many said without her, James
Madison would have been a one-term president.
Other First Ladies have
played prominent roles as well. Sarah Polk initiated the practice
of playing "Hail to the Chief" to announce the
appearance of the President. During World War II Eleanor Roosevelt
visited American troops in the war zones, and Hillary Clinton left
the White House to pursue her own political career as a
Senator.
Below are facts about five of our First
Ladies.
