The myth that these were old, rich, elder statesmen is incorrect. These were intelligent, forward thinking, young revolutionaries…the original rebels. Who went up against the powerful force in the world at the time..the British Empire. That tiny little island is amazing, but we took them down.

There were 14 planation Owners that signed the Constitution.

6 people who weren't citizens of the United States 1 from England ,2 from Scotland ,2 from Ireland and 1 from Wales.

No one from south of SC or west of PA. Yet these people who all believed a women and slaves were not to be counted as real people wrote rules and Laws that we still must be adhered to verbatim 246 years later. Don't misunderstand they were smart people and great ideas but if you think that they could foresee what the World has evolved into and that people would take a single gun that could shoot more bullets in one min then 100 men could with muskets you're a fool and do you honestly believe they would sit back and let someone just slaughter others ,children in a school at that? just stop.
