It was only free if you were not female, black, or First Nations.

"Was" being the operative word. It hasn't been like that for a while now.

problem?

@shinobinoz Said

Of course being only 24 has nothing to do with NOT knowing a little bit about these things.

@crazylikeafox Said

My age, which I'm assuming is what you're referring to, has nothing to do with it. Freedom comes with citizenship and the right to vote. Women got that freedom in 1920. Indians got it post-WWI (sorry, I can't remember exactly when it was. I just remember WWI played an important part in it). Blacks technically got it in the Reconstruction Era, but of course really won it during the Civil Rights Era. So at the latest, you're looking at 40 years since these groups won freedom. That's quite a while, and hence why "was" is the operative word.

And having been privy to it and continuing to battle injustices at my age is why "24" "was" pointed out.
