When a wealthy landowner was given full control over land in the new world, the colonies were known as "proprietary colonies" since these gave the dominating landowners far more control of the lives of the colonists.
It meant the taxes were divided based off of population of “whole people” which would be people who weren’t slaves
It was added my Thomas Jefferson who wanted to abolish slavery and that all men black white or even tan are created in gods image<span />
