This disgusting family knows nothing about America’s founding. When Michelle Antoinettee spoke to a group of immigrants she said that we all need to remember that America’s Founding Fathers weren’t born here, either. In truth, all of them except one were born here. I despise these evil entities living in the White House that John Adams (who was born here) built.

What does the disgusting douchebag think — that Jefferson, the Adamses, Franklin, Revere, etc., hopped on a boat in England, rowed over, and started a revolution the next week? Sheesh! She is breathtakingly STUPID. (But I don’t mean that in a bad way.)

From WIKI. A lot depends on who is defined as a Founder I guess. But you made me look, so thanks.

Most of the 1787 delegates were natives of the Thirteen Colonies. Only 9 were born elsewhere: four (Butler, Fitzsimons, McHenry, and Paterson) in Ireland, two (Davie and Robert Morris) in England, two (Wilson and Witherspoon) in Scotland, and one (Hamilton) in the West Indies.

Many of them had moved from one state to another. Seventeen individuals had already lived, studied or worked in more than one state or colony: Baldwin, Bassett, Bedford, Dickinson, Few, Franklin, Ingersoll, Hamilton , Livingston, Alexander Martin, Luther Martin, Mercer, Gouverneur Morris, Robert Morris, Read, Sherman, and Williamson. Several others had studied or traveled abroad.

The Founding Fathers had strong educational backgrounds at some of the colonial colleges or abroad.[16] Some, like Franklin and Washington, were largely self-taught or learned through apprenticeship. Others had obtained instruction from private tutors or at academies. About half of the men had attended or graduated from college. Some men held medical degrees or advanced training in theology. Most of the education was in the colonies, but several were lawyers who had been trained at the Inns of Court in London.
