Author's Note: This piece represents the Founding Fathers and what good they have done.
Only imagine if you could meet the founding fathers and tell them something that you have always wondered. There were seven major founding fathers of America. Constitutional Facts, they define a founding father as; a leading figure in the founding of the United States. I would tell them many things, like that they have changed the United States for forever.
These, fantastic, people were the leaders of the American Revolution. They expressed people's frustration and resentment with British rule. They acted on that anger to declare independence and lead the country through eight years of war to achieve it. They even wrote the constitution and persuaded people to accept and ratify it. They guys formed the first government under Washington and served in the first congresses. These men wrote the Bill of Rights.
The founding fathers never really talked about slavery, Although, Thomas Jefferson always thought that owning slaves was the right thing to do.. If I could ask one question to him, I would ask did you ever think about the slaves, and how they would feel? Did you ever imagine how you would feel if you were a slave? It is not right. I sincerely think that slavery is harsh. I believe that maids are a form of slaves, but they have a choice to be controlled.
Alexander Hamilton; one of the founding fathers is on the ten dollar bill. George Washington, on the 1 dollar bill. By now you might be thinking, wow I wish I was on money! Honestly, being on money doesn’t mean much. It genuinely just helps us remember the people who founded the United states and our the founding fathers.
In conclusion they made laws that still are used today, their honor is showed on money, and they proved that slavery is not right. The founding fathers have changed the United states for forever. To me the founding fathers have changed the United states in beyond, many different ways.
