Maybe so, but while I stop short of saying the founders were evil for owning slaves, it was not an uncontroversial opinion. there was an active movement to ban slavery in the original constitution draft, or at least not allow the south to count slave populations towards congress.
this however is irrelevant to the topic of the thread.
Informative though. I'm always glad to add to what I was taught in schools here.
