Actually Scottish moral philosophy roots. All of the Founders who went to college in America studied Scottish moral philosophy deeply rooted in Aquinas. All of the American colleges insisted on their presidents being well grounded in moral philosophy from Scotland. And as a result they all opposed slavery.

Those few who attended the English universities, which were about a dozen of the Founders, were not trained in the best moral philosophy and were not opposed to slavery.

I’ve read a book or two about the Founders, yet somehow this information sounds more than a little skewed towards current obsessions than that of the Founders.

You surely have a source for this idea about the nature of the Founders’ college educations; and I’m curious who is on this list of Founders.

Also, are you including those who owned slaves on the list of those opposed to slavery?
