Why does it matter how they treated their slaves? It was still slavery! It was still wrong.
Although I respect and admire the founders, they had faults as do you and I. I don’t have to whitewash their faults to admire the good.

According to Google, the British were the first to outlaw slavery. Then the USA.
I'm fairly sure that it still exists somewhere.
