Flip Floppers

[Keith Broaders]

All of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence all affirmed that "All men were created equal" at least 41f them owned slaves.

Of the the 55 men who attended the Constitutional Convention half of them owned slaves.

These men professed a belief in the equality of man, but their ownership of slaves revealed their hypocrisy.

John Adams said he believed in the freedom of speech, but signed the Alien and Sedition Act into law that made it a crime to criticize him or fellow Federalist leaders.

Thomas Jefferson spoke of the equality of man while he owned slaves and treated them as human  livestock.

James Madison  opposed the creation of a Bill Of Rights, but later changed his mind and became the autho of the first ten amendments.. 

Madison made it cler that he opposed the "Winner Take All" method of allocating Virginia's votes in 1796 , but supported it ib the lection of Thoas Jefferson in 1800.
