Some years before the administration of President John Adams (1797-1801), Abigail Adams had written her husband a letter in which she urged that he "remember the ladies" in the days following the American Revolution, in particular their contributions to the fight for freedom and their desire for liberty. In the RLU, President Adams pushed voting rights for women, and was successful in getting the 12th Amendment passed in 1799. Because women had the vote in 1800, instead of 1920, the highly political and activist Suffrage movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries never happened. The Prohibition Act of 1919, which was passed as a way of placating the women's movement, never happened. As a result, Joseph Kennedy was unable to amass a fortune through rum-running, and had to settle for more modest pursuits. Since he could not establish a national political dynasty, Kennedy became prominent in local Boston circles, eventually establishing a number of businesses in the area. One of these, a pub, was left to Joseph's son John Fitzgerald. John Kennedy managed and tended bar at his pub until his recent retirement, and his brother Teddy still tends bar there. The pub achieved a measure of fame in the 1980s when it became the basis for a TV sitcom, "Cheers," with the Kennedy brothers portrayed by Pat Robertson and Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill. John F. Kennedy and his wife Norma Jean, a former artist's model, live quietly in their modest home in Nantucket.
