There were also black american heroes of the Revolutionary war and the Civil war.  Blacks played an important part in both of these wars.  There were women who fought in the Revolutionary war too.  Women voted in New England in the 1700's.  They lost their vote due to politics.  One political party didn't get any support from women so when they got power they removed the right to vote from the women so they could remain in power. 

The two party system, as George Washington predicted, is a political evil.  He opposed the formation of political parties.
