No, dear, not at all. THIS NATION, WOULD NOT EXIST , IF THOSE AGAINST SLAVERY HAD HELD OUT ! You really DO need to learn American history. It's a pity , that you know , at best, the Cliff's Notes version of what actually happened back then. Your fairy tale view / version, of what American history and the presidents were , is so skewed, that you can't tell the difference between what political reality has always been, and what you whish it had been / is. That's WHY you are having such a difficult time .

I'm sorry. Perhaps it's the late hour, but that statement is a little too incoherent to me.

My point is quite simple:

1. Our Founding Fathers articulated the principle on which our nation was based, that the rights of every human being comes from God (or, if you prefer the technical term, the "Creator").
2. Not all of Founding Fathers stayed true to that principle. Some owned slaves out of pragmatism.
3. Had they remained true to the principle, slavery would have ended sooner.
4. Nevertheless, slavery was ended years later on the very principle they articulated.

Thank God for the Founding Fathers, who articulated the principle many in our society refuse to acknowledge: that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Without that principle, slavery would not have ended, and we would be Brits.
