Never mind that the Founders were among the earliest leaders to oppose slavery as a worldwide institution or that voting was done by household.
And they gave us a way to amend the Constitution to change things in the future, which we have done as necessary. The Founding Fathers obviously knew things would change and made a way to change the Constitution. Brilliant.
Do you have any sources for that? Books? Links? (Not challenging you I really want that information).
You are exactly right...Abraham Lincoln himself credited the founding fathers with freeing the slaves, by acknowledging that all men are created equal in the Declaration of Independence, and prohibiting slavery in the Northwest Territory.
The 3/5 compromise was also an effort to limit slavery, regardless of what the race baiters would have you believe. The south was in favor of counting slaves as a “whole” person which would have given them a clear majority in terms of representation in the House of Representatives, and preserved that despicable institution for decades longer. The 3/5 rule kept Congressional representation more balanced and made it difficult for the pro-slavery faction to extend the practice geographically.
Finally, here’s one question that’s never asked to the so-called historians: who would you trade our founding fathers for? The terrorists behind the French Revolution? Cromwell’s roundheads? Otto von Bismarck? Or perhaps their real favorites: V.I. Lenin or Chairman Mao.
