In 1776, how many were accepted as "Free" from the tyrannies of the King (GEORGE III)?

 The colonies each would

reckon the matter of who

could vote at a town, region,

or colony level; no such

"Register" of voters in the

Revolution / post-Revolutionary

era granted suffrage (the right to

vote) to women of all colors, hues,

standing in the eyes of the voting

"judges" :

1776 population of 13 colonies was

approx. 2.5 million while

1.25 million were women -

children of the families (orphans,

fatherless included) and

1.25 million were males come of age.

historians, experts of early

America, 18th Century]
