While his wife wasn’t as powerful, most people thought of the first lady as the most powerful woman in America. This is one reason why people shivered at the thought of Julia as a first lady.
Julia always had a lot of power as her family held enormous power in high society. However, marrying the president gave her more power than she could ever imagine. Many people told the president that he had made an enormous mistake giving Julia so much power.
