@ScottAdamsSays What happened to you warning us about how we believe the last person we spoke to? You read one leftist book about the American founding and you simply buy it? Really?

Are you talking about the framers, or the founders?

I thought the American Revolution was a result of smuggler John Hancock protecting his market? https://www.garynorth.com/public/15408.cfm …

Honestly Scott, I listen to you daily and have read your books. You taking this revisionist history angle feels like betrayal. It is part of the leftist 2020 strategy to associate every american institution with racism. I'm very disillusioned with your usually good perspective.

That may be true, but some of the slave owners were abolitionists. James Wilson comes to mind.

That isnt true. Washington, Maddison and Jefferson were slave owners, the rest weren't. If you read about these three then you will see that they opposed slavery and worked to abolish it, but they were large plantation owners. Men of their times.

I heard 15 out of 17 were slave owners. Worth checking.

I don't know whether that's true or not (it may depend on who you count) but even many of the slave owners were troubled by slavery. Read Federalist 54 where Madison explains the 3/5ths compromise or Jefferson's early Declaration of Independence draft with a section on slavery.
