How progressively and awesomely feminist Abigail Adams was, and how John responded with “meh”

The founding fathers were a bunch of rich people that wanted to replace the monarchy with themselves

Franklin claimed a moral objection to slavery, but he OWNED quite a few. Peak hypocrisy. Hard to take his moralism seriously

Most were not particularly religious. Very few were what we would consider evangelical and many struggled with Christianity.

It wasn’t until college I understood how different each of them were. They also weren’t the “saviors” they’re often made out to be. They did a lot of good, but probably a lot of not so good too.

My college English prof just told us about Washington living in Philly during his presidency & cycling his slaves b/w there & Mt. Vernon. And Ben Franklin lived nearby & she wonders if he cursed or(1)

Imagine if the left and right actually listened to each other instead for listened to each other to find flaws to win an argument.

Samuel Adams should be seen more as the father of the Revolution but he isn’t. He influence many of the New England representatives with his views. His spies were so beneficial to the start of war.

My biggest issue in the South is that they are often equated to being a wholly Christian body, when they weren't. Their beliefs were just as varied and diverse as ours are. That was the point.

Franklin didn't release his slaves until he died.

To me the sheer messiness is what made this experiment work. Authoritarians hate democracy because is messy and doesn’t always take the fastest path.

Also Abigail and Dolly were critical to the survival of the country in those first years.

They were like kids at the time too. Shrewd negotiators and great compromisers

They weren’t perfect by any means but they knew how to have civil conversations and COMPROMISE, something that’s sorely lacking today

I think the best portrayal of the relationship between Hamilton and Jefferson is in the HBO series. John Adams. They did not like each other very much.

Do you think the current politicians could ever write the constitution if they were magically time travelled to the constitutional hall?

They even pondered, meticulously and at length, the potential dangers and seemingly regret over certain things. Jefferson pondered on it the most.

My fun fact is that Alexander Hamilton Jr grew up and represented Burrs wife in their divorce and she won, then burr died the day it was finalized

That they didn't originally want to break free of England, that they simply wanted their rights as English citizens to be recognized.

The personal wealth differences were huge. The ones with slaves were the billionaires of today with huge profits from both free land and free labor.
