there are things in our history we can not change. the founding fathers of this country had slaves but look at the times thats what you did to work the land etc. am i saying it was right no not at all but at the time thats what you did it was the norm in life to own slaves. these men had huge balls to stand up against the crown like they did because if they lost they would have been hanged and england was huge country along with france and spain and america who the hell were they back then?
