Despite our founders being flawed men of their time they were extremely brave individuals that started one of the greatest projects the earth has seen. Yes many of them owned slaves, many of them even acknowledged how bad slavery was and knew it’d potentially be the end of the union. When that challenge came Americans stood up and preserved the union and ended slavery. We faced other troubles since, two world wars, the battle for women’s rights and civil rights, but our country has stood for now just about 250 years, and it no doubt would surprise many of the Founders that it did last this long.
Ben Franklin famously said that “We’ll have a republic. If you can keep it.” After the constitutional convention. Time has shown again and again that Americans and patriots will keep that republic and we will continue to keep it going forward.
Don’t be hopeless about what’s happening, we can and will fight it.

Funny part is that after the American revolution, they kicked out the American born citizens that were loyalists to Britain.

Eh, the forefathers were traitors, they just won and got to write their history.
