		Even though the issue of slavery is often raised as a discrediting charge against the Founding Fathers, the historical fact is that slavery was not the product of, nor was it an evil introduced by, the Founding Fathers; slavery had been introduced to America nearly two centuries before the Founders.
		May the great and the equal Father of the human race, who has expressly declared His abhorrence of oppression, and that He is no respecter of persons, succeed a design so laudably calculated to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke.
		The truth is that it was the Founding Fathers who were responsible for planting and nurturing the first seeds for the recognition of fl equality and for the eventual end of slavery.

	Founding Fathers

		Any attempt to portray the "Founding Fathers" as holding a set, conservative viewpoint ignores the diverse philosophies that went into the establishment of the American system of government.

	The 'Founding Fathers' by Ryan McMaken
		The term "Founding Fathers" does much to mislead us about the origins of American government.

		This — the fact that during the last decade or so the Founding Fathers have begun to be treated by a number of historians in an uncharacteristic way: with respect.
