I believe that you know quite well what my argument is. It is that the founders worked tirelessly until slavery was no more. Whether or not a few or many or all of the founders worked to end slavery is not the relevant point. The point is that they did not work until slavery was no more. My last word.

The idea that the founding fathers did anything to eliminate slavery is absurd. They were too hung up on property rights (any property) than have any concern about the plight of slaves. The vast majority of them were slave holders themselves (e.g.'s Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, John Hancock among others). Bachmann was promulgating this BS image of them as being concerned over human rights and against slavery... This for the most part is an utter fallacy and a farce. Most of the utterances that come out that ditz are fallacies, so it's no surprize that she'd utter something like that. You continue following the amatuer come politician. The biggest piece of evidence that they didn't give a rat's patuty about slaves, is that they didn't follow britain in abolishing slavery in 1833.
