Description: Most historians accuse our nation's Founders of racism, sexism, and elitism, condemning them as hypocrites who failed to live up to their own enlightened principles. As evidence, scholars point to the facts that Washington and Jefferson owned slaves, that women, even after the American Revolution, enjoyed virtually no rights, and that the poor and propertyless were denied the basic tenets of democratic participation. In Vindicating the Founders, Thomas West demonstrates why the Founders were indeed sincere in their belief of universal human rights and in their commitment to democracy. In a straightforward style, West debunks numerous widely held myths about the Founders' political thought. He contrasts the Founders' ideas of liberty and equality with today's, concluding that contemporary notions of liberalism bear almost no resemblance to the concepts originally articulated by the Founders. This controversial, convincing, and highly original book is important reading for everyone concerned about the origins, present, and future of the American experiment in self government.
