Even after the war that supposedly changed everything, it took years for women and slaves to actually get their voices heard and be represented. Women and slaves have been discriminated for many years. And after more fights, and Abigail Adams demanding that women finally get a voice after the Revolutionary war occurred, it finally happened. In the year 1776 Abigail wrote a letter to her
In her book, Revolutionary Mothers, Women in the Struggle for America’s Independence, Carol Berkin constructs the case that the Revolutionary War is a story that involves both male and female. Women and their vigorous role played out in this war is of fundamental significance; though throughout history the vital position of women has frequently been lessened, significantly glamorized and in some instances, the significant influences these ladies made in the creation of this great country left entirely

not actually consider all people to be worthy of the listed rights. “All men” only applied to white, land-owning males. Women, slaves, and Native Americans were completely and unfairly ignored by the Declaration of Independence.
