Dear Founding Fathers,
You are seven of the most important people in the world. All
of you helped our country tremendously. The seven of you helped shape our
country into what it is today. I appreciate you effort to make our country the
best that you though it could be but I disagree with a lot of the choices you
made.
The Declaration of Independence states that all men should
be treated equal yet Thomas Jefferson owned slaves. This confuses me because if all men are
created equal then all men and woman should be free to make their own choices,
no one should be owned by anyone else. This proves that the founding fathers
were hypocrites.
We can still see important figures to our country like the
founding fathers today on our currency.
For example Abraham Lincoln on the 5 dollar bill and George Washington on the
one dollar bill. We honor them because they helped morph our country into what
it is today. I know not all of the choices they made were good ones but they did
play a big role in creating our country. Without them I don’t even want to
imagine where we would be today.
The founding fathers didn’t make all the right decisions but
I still honor and respect them for trying. Although I don’t agree with many of
their decisions without them we wouldn’t be where we are today. Our country is
what it is because of them.
From,
Madison
