the fact that the founding fathers largely suck ass is a subject matter that isn't talked about often, mostly because it's pretty irrelevant and gets drowned out by its value as patriotism and culture. most of em were nuanced people overall, forced to make compromises with their contemporaries else not manage to have an organized government at all. many had issues with slavery, but with half of them reliant on it, they decided to kick the can down the road. slavery is one of the most cruel things you can do to a human being, and they lacked the conviction or resources to fight twice. it's our greatest national shame, honestly. but the us has always been one of the most backwards countries, we were built by religious zealots who got kicked out of their home countries after all.
