Colonial America‚ women weren’t often allowed many rights that were given to men freely at the time. Women in colonial times in the Chesapeake‚ for example‚ were treated as second-class citizens‚ but mainly if they were married. The only time when these men seemed to accept a woman with freedom was if she was a widow.
