I think a healthy view of our founders is that they pointed the way and we have to complete the journey. The American Revolution isn't just a war for independence but an ongoing struggle for a more just and more free society. Abolition, women's suffrage, desegregation, equal-pay, etc. are all individual battles in this war.
