Answer:

White men

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, the British colonies were composed of British colonists only, therefore, they were all white. Blacks went to America as slaves, so it would be only natural that they would have no saying in the government. It was only in 1893 that they were given such right. Also, the Women's Suffrage movement only began in 1848.
