Benjamin Franklin had a son out of wedlock - William Franklin. He was raised by Benjamin and his commonlaw wife Deborah. Benjamin couldn't marry Deborah because *she* was already married!! And William's son Temple fathered a child out of wedlock by his stepmother's younger sister. Jefferson had Sally Hemmings (who was the half sister of Jefferson's wife Martha - they shared a father.)

Check out the history they didn't teach you in school, lol. It may not have been in Paris but the Founding Fathers weren't necessarily into marital fidelity and monogamy.

OK, so you didn't answer my challenge about Franklin in Paris. To cite two examples of Founding Fathers who weren't exactly paragons of husband-hood and then extrapolate that to *all* the Founding Fathers is pretty weak.

The history they never taught us in school was regarding the religious faith of many of the Founders. I had to learn about that on my own.
