I mean it reflects the real Alexander Hamilton's opinion but that opinion was extremely biased Kinda sucks the two dudes HAMILTON shits on most, John Adams and Aaron Burr, were among the two most anti-slavery of the Founding Fathers (and Burr supported women's suffrage to boot)https://twitter.com/IgneousSigil/status/1282478626752147456 …

John Adams, with great reluctance

Do we get to count John Quincy?

Yeah, he was great (I own a lot of his writings); I'd also include John Adams, Ethan Allen and Ben Franklin.

Also, the term "Founding Fathers" was invented by Warren G. Harding of all people, so maybe we should stop using it?

It's telling that he wasn't invited to the Constitutional Convention, and so often isn't included as a Father. Most of the others hated him, because he spoke well to common folk, while intellectuals like Adams were kind of elitist and hated to see these high ideas made simple.

(Might be pretty telling also that he doesn't even get name-checked in Hamilton -- at least as far as I know -- perhaps because he would have been too much like Hamilton, in that he wasn't wealthy and made his mark through the power of his words.)
