Why didn't the leaders of the American revolution extend their spirit of equality to the abolition of slavery and giving women the right to vote?
Those were ideas whose time had not yet come. No other western nation that allowed voting to start with let women vote. Switzerland, usually considered very developed and advanced, just gave women the vote forty years ago. And not all white men got to vote either. Only those who owned land worth a certain minimum amount were eligible. In all of New York State in 1800, there were only 12,000 eligible voters.
Slaves were expensive, meaning only rich people had more than a few of them, and people of moderate means could not afford even one. But then, as now, the wealthy have a disproportionate share of power in our political system. Wealthy southerners, who owned quite a few slaves, were also the representatives of the southern states in the Continental Congress and at the Constitutional Convention. Some of them had some pangs of conscience over the issue, but like the others believed that black people were like children and would be unable to survive on their own. Some northern delegates to the Constitutional Convention were more forceful in trying to eliminate slavery, but in the interest of getting a Constitution adopted that everyone could agree to, compromises had to be made.
