"She was one of the few military wives [...]" Change "she" to "Margaret", as this is a new section, it needs to be made grammatically clear.
"she used her faith to endure the burdens [...]" This reads a bit weird to me. How does she use it to endure burdens?
Spot-check: "Religion helped her through her ordeals of frontier living: she was an Episcopalian who maintained her faith and read Scripture throughout her life." So I'm not sure how to better clarify that from the source. :/
"Taylor held two slaves that accompanied her during farm work." Rephrase this, as "accompanied" makes it sound somewhat voluntary and not, you know, slavery.
Spot-check: "To help her run it, she brought two slaves from Louisville, but she skimmed the milk and fed the chickens herself."
"She managed the White House staff, which included 15 slaves. [...]"
Spot-check: "During the Taylors' time in the White House, their staff consisted of white servants augmented by 15 of President Taylor's house slaves. By this time the issue of slavery had so divided the nation that the president preferred to keep these slaves out of sight, assigning them to the family quarters upstairs."
Detail about the portraits is another interesting potential DYK hook.
"a tinted sixth plate ambrotype portrait" Consider at least adding links for clarity and maybe cutting "sixth plate", as I have no idea what that's supposed to refer to.
The images currently don't have alt text, please write some.
Overall:
Pass/fail:
Overall, really good stuff that easily passes. My only notes are ones that should be relatively easy to resolve, as they're mostly about small grammatical, wording or formatting issues. Resolve those and I'll pass this. --Grnrchst (talk) 18:16, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
