Why did Americans in 1776 neither grant freedom to enslaved African Americans nor make women legally equal to men?
Biany
Because, there was a propagated ignorance that African Americans were were only 5/8 of a human. Women in those days had traditional roles, and took on the opinions of their husbands. (also an example of ignorance). It took many years for the truth about race and sex to be known. Had it been known then, slavery would have likely been criminalized long before it was. Ignorance can be a dangerous and powerful thing.
