Many of the Founding Fathers opposed slavery, but, you know, not really enough to do anything about it

All of them were Caucasian

The Founding Fathers’ average net worth, when not adjusted for inflation, would make them among the poorest Americans in the modern U.S.

The Founding Fathers were all villainous traitors to the glorious British Empire

One of the fondest memories many of the Founding Fathers wrote of was when Benjamin Franklin said, “John, can you hand me that pen?” and then both John Jay and John Adams looked up

Though he didn’t tell anyone, Thomas Jefferson secretly hated liberty

In today’s dollars, the Founding Fathers owe more than $25.8 million in back child support
