Every time reference is made to the Founding Fathers, someone has to interject the old distraction-brainwash of slavery.
So what they had slaves. That was the way things were then.
What's important is what the F. Fathers did, which includes the constitution, which was not good. The constitution was, as I understand it, a complicated means of attaining, by gradual methods, the eventual enslavement of the people.

The proof in in the current pudding.
Since the slaves can't speak, I must quote Dr. Samuel Johnson: "How is it we hear the loudest yelps for liberty from the drivers of negroes?"
A curious paradox.
