In Pilgrim and Puritan days sure, but the 1770s? What have you been smoking???
Pardon me if I'm wrong, but in eastern Mass, in the late 1700s whites and Indians living side by side in the same village? That really does sound HIGHLY unlikely.
My point is though that the author in the very first paragraph implies the men were biggoted sexists for not having a vote for non-citizens and/or their wives and mothers. THIS WAS THE 1770S! 98% of the world had NO VOTE AT ALL!
Yes, in the 1770s there were still a lot of Indians on Cape Cod. Even now there are areas that are considered Indian areas - near Mashpee, I think. There was a lot of litigation to get their land back too.
And don't ask what I'm smoking. I'll get blamed for second-hand smoke! LOL
