They baked New England's Thanksgiving pies, preached their faith to
crowds of worshippers, spied for the patriots during the
Revolution, wrote that human bondage was a sin, and demanded
reparations for slavery. Black women in colonial and revolutionary
New England sought not only legal emancipation from slavery but
defined freedom more broadly to include spiritual, familial, and
economic dimensions.
Hidden behind the banner of achieving freedom was the assumption
that freedom meant affirming black manhood The struggle for freedom
in New England was different for men than for women. Black men in
colonial and revolutionary New England were struggling for freedom
from slavery and for the right to patriarchal control of their own
families. Women had more complicated desires, seeking protection
and support in a male headed household while also wanting personal
liberty. Eventually women who were former slaves began to fight for
dignity and respect for womanhood and access to schooling for black
children.
