The americans claimed to fight liberty and freedom. how did these ideals make woman and enslaved africans question their positions in society?

America is one of the cradles of freedom. Since the colonial era in which the colonists rebelled against British tyranny through the slogan "No taxation without representation", through the sanction of the Bill of Rights guaranteeing civil liberties, the United States has valued the right to Freedom as the most important of human rights.

But during the first years of the nation, this right did not include the entire population. Thus, white women were relegated to a secondary role in society, as they had no political rights such as voting or holding public office. Not to mention the case of African Americans, who were not even considered people but property, so they lacked all rights and were taken as slaves.

Over the years, these groups began to take the liberal ideas of the Founding Fathers and adapt them to their own causes. This is how the anti-slavery movement emerged between African Americans and their liberal allies, and the suffrage movement among women a few years later. Both movements ended up achieving their respective objectives: African Americans obtained civil and political rights by abolishing slavery, and women obtained the right to vote.

Subsequently, these groups continued to fight for greater and better rights, such as African Americans with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. While many advances have been made, there is still a certain disparity in society. An example of this is that, of the 29 presidents who have held office since the abolition of slavery, only 1 of them was African-American. For worse, no woman has yet reached office.
