Who were the founding fathers of the United States to you? Noble men? The spawn of Satan? Liberal freemasons? Conservative white men?

Please elaborate.

Men, who by their will and effort, helped lay the foundation of America.
Who had virtues, as well as sins.
Many who were impressive in their own fields, be it as writers, lawyers, farmers, soldiers, merchants, physicians, so on, so forth.
'Possible relation inĀ Elbridge Gerry - Wikipedia, but I'd have to go history digging.

Founding Fathers, I consider worthy of admiration, respect, emulation.
Though 'again, I say they were 'not 'without their faults, or behaviors I 'don't admire, respect, wish to emulate.

Nearer to devils than saints for sure.

I know from gang culture that more often than not the OGs are extremely ruthless types that rewrite history upon securing victory, to paint themselves as heroes. The founding fathers were gangsters without the label.
