my ancestors had property rights and university education for women, always anti-slavery.. please do not lump me into your vague assertion

edit- the USA was divided strongly between states, which had constitutions of their own. There was a very bright line between the Massachusetts colonies and the Virginia colonies, and then others.. Property rights and real education for women were a large topic! slavery was hated for good reasons .. the social contract that "my particular ancestors" created, specifically are what the PP were dismissing.. its inaccurate to dismiss that



What do your specific ancestors have to do with anything?
