Earwig gives nothing and I'll do some spotchecks
Spotchecks
5a "As an adult, she taught herself to speak French and to play the piano" bit close to source which says "As an adult she taught herself French and began studying piano" - I know there aren't many words to play with but you could say for example "learnt French"

6i "These plans were interrupted when she caught a cold that progressed into bronchitis and then pneumonia." bit close to source which says "Her cold had developed into bronchitis, and from there progressed to bronchitis" - I think i'd be happy if "progressed" was changed to another word
Done

References
Referenced to reliable sources, well laid-out.
Inconsistent use of publisher location but that's not a GA pass/fail issue
Prose
Reads well overall
"They moved in with Cyprus Powers" - what relation is Cyrus to them?
Done
"While she held fashionable society in contempt, she enjoyed observing their behavior and participating in social parties" - society is singular, so maybe "people's behaviour"
Done
" was an active first lady that hosted many social events" - "who hosted"?
Done
"she designed the White House interior in the mind of a middle-class home" does "mind" make sense in US-eng? Reads funny to me, I guess I'd say "like" or "in the way of"
Done
"As an antebellum first lady, " is antebellum the best word choice? because for me it refers more to
Antebellum South, but this might be another US/Br eng thing
Done
