Black women in colonial and revolutionary New England sought not only legal\u003cbr\u003eemancipation from slavery but defined freedom more broadly to include spiritual, familial, and economic dimensions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHidden 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\u003cbr\u003epatriarchal 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\u003cbr\u003echildren.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Adams, Elizabeth H.
