It wasn't the Founding Fathers that brought slaves to the New World...most of them didn't even own slaves BTW.

LMAO so the slaves were forced on the Washington, Jefferson, Adams, etc.? You shouldn't have picked the slave era as your argument against slave labor or outsourcing. It was bush league.

[Veracious Poet]

Washington received his slaves through inheritance and marriage, bought slaves to keep families together, educated them and provided them with more than local poor white farmers.

Upon his death bequeathed his estate to his slaves and made them free upon Martha's death (legally there was no other way).

Washington always assumed that Blacks would be freed after the Revolution, but because of the fragile nature of the Union of States he let the issue go (Unlike Lincoln, who thought it better 600,000 should die to settle the issue).

As far as Jefferson & Adams, they'd have to explain their position for themselves...I suggest you read about them in-depth like I have Washington. ;-)
