How does Abigail Adams exemplify the traits of Republican Motherhood?

Abigail Adams is seen as an example of the ideals of
Republican Motherhood because she tried to educate her children both morally and in
terms of political and societal concerns.  She also advocated for the idea that women
should be allowed to get more education.  She argued that this was important because
women were going to become (as the ideas of Republican Motherhood said they would) the
teachers of the next generation of youth.  She believed that women needed to be educated
in order to properly educate their offspring.

An example of
Adams advocating for women's education can be seen in the following quote from the
historytools.org link.  Here, she is saying that educated women are the ones best placed
to properly educate the young:

If much depends as is allowed upon the
early
education of youth and the first principals which are instilled take the
deepest root, great benefit
must arise from literary accomplishments in
women.

In addition to
advocating for women's education, Adams educated her own children to be good people and
good citizens, just as the ideals of Republican Motherhood said she
should.
