You didn't answer my question.
Lauren -- you're being rude by ignoring my question.
During colonial times, the right to vote was not universally granted to all colonists. Different colonies had various criteria for determining who could participate in the electoral process. It is worth noting that the definition of eligible voters evolved over time as well.
To specifically address your question, in many colonial colonies, the right to vote was indeed limited to a specific group of people. Typically, white, male, Christian individuals were granted voting rights. Additionally, age restrictions were also common, with the minimum age for voting usually set at 21. Women, people of African descent, Native Americans, and individuals who did not adhere to the Christian faith were generally excluded from voting.
However, it is important to understand that the exact qualifications for the right to vote varied from colony to colony. To determine which colonists had the right to vote in a particular colony, one must examine the specific laws and regulations of that particular colony during the colonial era.
