he worked tirelessly the last few years of his like to free all of his slaves upon his and Martha's death, and also to make provisions for their education and for the support of the former slave children and elderly.

To be contrasted rather dramatically with Jefferson, who lived lavishly all his life, incurred great debts, and had most of his slaves sold after his death to pay them.

True. Our Founding Fathers were human, they all had faults. But what are the odds of getting such a great group of minds together? To my knowledge, very slim, I believe there was Divine intervention. Think about it, perhaps you will come to the same conclusion as I, we had better love and protect this Republic. It took a long time for history to produce an America, if we lose it, it may be a long time before we see another.
