Were those folks for or against slavery?
Talk about a straw man!!!!!!
INDEED we have a right a RESPONSIBILITY to alter their visions when time shows reality. Slavery was not proper and time showed us all that....and we took action to make the situation more proper. As we should do. Right?
You failed American history, didn't'cha?
Madison was against slavery. Franklin was against slavery. Jefferson owned slaves, yes. But even he understood that it was an evil and barbarian practice.
Maybe you should read some more and get a true understanding of why the 'three-fifths of a man" line was put in there. It was to LIMIT congressional apportionment in the states of Georgia and Virginia.
You insult the very men who gave you this great land. You're as bad as the looney-left liberals who claim that what a bunch of wig-wearin' old White guys wrote over 200 years ago is irrelevant to today's woprld...besides, their America-hating argument goes, they were a bunch of slaveholding racists who stole the land from the indigenous people....
Like I said. You're a real piece of work.
