Would the founding fathers be considered terrorists today?

No. MLM No. While the UN has failed to provide an internationally accepted definition of terrorism, it's quite clear that the founding fathers were not proponents of terrorism, but of treason. I know those "t" words can be confusing.


Did the founding fathers think slavery would die out by 1860?

yes

What would you tell the founding fathers?

Have you ever heard of the term" founding fathers "you may have wondered just who these men were and what they did to earn this tittle. Not everyone agrees on who should be given this tittle. But generally speaking, are founding fathers were the statesmen who worked to secure our independence from Great Britain in seventeen seventy six. Our founding fathers founded our nation and designed our democratic form of government that still exists today; over two hundred years later the founding father wrote two very important documents from are history.

What are the differences between our government now and the Founding Fathers' government?

The Founding Fathers envisioned a government that would exist solely for their furtherance of the rights of the citizens. They probably wouldn't have liked the strong arm of the government our country has now. The NSA scandal would have been appalling to them, and may have elicited another revolution. As many of the Founding Fathers favored an isolationist stance, our current involvement in Middle Eastern affairs would not have been welcomed.
