Patriot's Pen

Author's Note: This is my opinion on the founding fathers of america. This essay is for the Patriots  Pen Essay.

If I could meet the founding fathers right now there would be many words I would tell them. They had done wonderful things but all the same had done things not as great. I would tell them to fix the bad acts they had done, so that the country could become even better than they had made it.

They had done wonderful acts for the country, yet they had made many mistakes. Some of the founders were actually hypocrites, even though the founding fathers had rebelled against slavery, some of them owned slaves. It was disgusting how they did the very thing they acted against. Back then women were treated worse than men because they did not have equal rights and were thought of as inferior people. Everyone should have a right to be equal. The founding fathers had committed some horrible acts and they should fix that if they could.

As opposed to the dark side of what they had done, there was also a side with light. The founding  fathers had done many wondrous deeds. They had created this amazing country. Our country is free unlike many others. We are one of the most dominant countries thanks to them. We can walk out on the streets safely without guns shooting at us and the sound of bombs breaking our eardrums. There are countries like that. We are a haven safer than most.

Not only had they created this wonderful country some of the founding fathers had created inventions that broke the surface of technology back then. Thomas Jefferson had made the clock so we can tell what time it is. Benjamin Franklin invented bifocals which helped many people who needed them. He had also made the lightning rod which saved many lives and buildings.

This haven that the founding fathers built is a magnificent nation. Even though there are many terrible things about the country, the miraculous part covers up for it. The founding fathers are admirable in the sense that they created this country even though they had done some atrocious things.  They had invented some things that we use every day. They did wonderful deeds for our country.
