Several of the thirteen original colonies gave women of property limited voting privileges in local elections. With U.S. independence from Britain in 1776, however, even that limited right was withdrawn, except in New Jersey. Property-holding women took advantage of the vague wording of the New Jersey state constitution, which gave the vote to "all inhabitants" of the state. In 1807, when African-Americans as well as women voted in some elections, suffrage in the state was restricted to free white men.
