Who is considered a Founding Father can very.
John Adams, Samuel Adams, Oliver Ellsworth, Alexander Hamilton, Robert Treat Paine, Thomas Paine, and Roger Sherman did not hold slaves.

Bassett, Blair, Blount, Butler, Carroll, Jenifer, Jefferson, Mason, Charles Pinckney, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, Rutledge, Spaight, and Washington and Madison. Ben Franklin owned a few but freed them and then started the Philadelphia Anti Slavery Society. Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, John Adams, Sam Adams and Thomas Paine did not own slaves and several of them were abolitionists, a few creating a school for black freedmen in New York. Washington also freed his slaves upon his death, however, over half of Washington's slaves were dowry slaves from his wife's first marriage and could not be freed by his will. They were not freed upon his death and Martha never freed them. This was quite devastating to the over 300 slaves on the Washington plantation because it tore apart many families, as freed blacks and slaves were not allowed to live together and as more and more of them were split amongst Martha's children and grandchildren.
Benjamin Franklin owned at least two slaves, George and King, before becoming an avid abolitionist in the years following the Revolutionary War.
James Madison owned slaves, he grew up having slaves and had them his whole life.

Yes, it does. Try to google "Did the Founding Fathers own slaves?" Google comes back with the grammatically wrong suggestion of: Did you mean: Did the Founding Fathers owned slaves? When the past tense in the question is already denoted by the auxiliary verb "did", it is wrong to repeat the past tense in the lexical verb "own". The Yahooh search engine makes grammatical mistake too. It comes back with: Did you mean: Did the Founding Father's own slaves?

Most of the founding fathers of the USA held the belief that it was okay to have slaves and personal valets. They however made notable efforts to end slavery and have more rights to the former slaves.

What Beard meant when he said that the founding fathers were a conspiratorial economic elite, he simply meant that the founding fathers were out for the elite group of society. Most of the laws first set forth by the constitution were for the wealthy, not for the everyday people. The founding fathers were out for their own economic interests

In the US, our founding fathers.
The founding fathers of the United States did not abolish slavery right away because it was something that they found useful. There were many slaves working in state houses in Pennsylvania at the time the Declaration of Independence was signed. Many families had slaves to do the cooking and cleaning in the northern states.
