A typical colonial planter would see no problem with the "equality" of that time. After all, all the each of the white-men-planters were equal to each other. They could all vote, they could all own land, they can have a say among the manhood. As to women and slaves and what about equality for them, I can see the typical planter scratching his head, looking at you, and saying "What are you talking about? They are women. They are slaves." Meaning the idea of equality beyond that of white male property owners was sort of beyond his imagination. They "affect an independence on their mother kingdom"; A typical colonial planter's thought of "equality" is much more considered to be "avaricious". It was to a fact that most of the property owners were wanting to make a living faster and get wealthy much likely fast.
Most of the colonial planters, illustrated inconsistencies between his attitude towards his mother country. They, that was appointed by the Crown set the colony into a "great disorder". Inconsistencies that consist to the matter of them not abiding to the Majesty's orders, also not making suitable provisions for the maintenance of the colony's governor. Another declining factor were the planter's treatment of individuals within his colony. Many of them sought that it was right to mistreat and used the slaves, Indians, and indentured servants as tool for them to conform many of their other necessities . just as stated in Doc. Colonial Exploitation - A Matter of Perception, " masters pinched for other resources sometimes put their servants as stakes in card games." Colonial planters manipulated their workers; forced them to reach to their full extremity in their cruel hardships. Not much of "equality" in the colonial planters were being equal. Inequality was the consolidating essence of the minds of a property owner within his colony.
