>> No, I have no problem with Washington, Jefferson & Adams. They have been & always will be some of my favorite historical figures(along with their wives). It's ridiculous to criticize them for owning slaves in 1776 because that was the landowner system at that time <<

so if you think it's ridiculous to criticize our founding fathers for slavery, would you agree that it's ridiculous to criticize people who are against abortion and homosexuality in present times?

>> I doubt that John Adams owned slaves <<

my mistake, i meant madison. you are correct, of the first seven presidents, only the two adams did not own slaves.
