Colonists in America largely believed that all white men were created equal, particularly those who owned property, as they were seen as entitled to certain rights and privileges. However, this belief did not extend to women, enslaved individuals, or Indigenous peoples, who were often excluded from discussions of equality and rights. The Enlightenment ideals of liberty and equality influenced colonial thought, but these principles were inconsistently applied and often limited to specific groups.
