NO, most of the Founding Fathers were, as my AP History teacher put it, "Well read, well fed, well bred, and well wed" meaning that they weren't indicative of the population as a whole. But it is important to realize that at the time having a black man or any type of woman wouldn't have been accepted. Not saying that its right, but it was true of the time.
