| Granted the sanctity of the founding fathers is a mythos held up by cheap superstition and political manipulation, but which one is your favorite?
My favorite is John Adams. I like him because he had principles and he wouldn't budge an inch on them. Nobody really liked Adams because of his ill disposition, but he still held his ground. Overall he was a brilliant lawyer and politician. He was actually the only one of the founding fathers that had any background in law too. He was the only founding father that did not own slaves. He was a great husband too. He and his wife had a real loving relationship. Mrs. Adams was awesome too. She owned her own import business and managed all of the estate's money (Adams was a very bad money manager). I guess the main reason I like Adams is that he seems so normal to me. His problems and shortcomings were very public and he made no attempt to hide them. He had family problems with his sons and marital problems when he was away in France for so long. I just really like how "normal" he is. |
