I'm glad to see an expert come to the same conclusion that my amateur study of this subject has. The predicate in the first sentence in the article ("The Founders misread history") really rubbed me the wrong way, as I've heard so many people criticize the founders when they haven't even done a tenth of the study and research that the founders had. Perhaps they did misread history, but at least they read history, and lots of it. Hero/idol worship is not a good thing, but claiming the founders were ignorant and backwards is, quite frankly, ignorant and backwards. IMHO, anyone that wants to criticize them should be held to the same high standard that the founders held themselves to, ie, study history, lots of it.
