Want this question answered?
I might be wrong but, I think that it was because people were forced to serve in the war based on there birthday. That lead people in the war not to want to really fight.
A "founding father" is someone who does something first or is an originator of a movement or organization or an institution. The Founding Fathers in United States history usually refer to the men who attended the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, May, 1787, and helped write the Constitution of the United States.

Most of them had slaves and were dependent on them. Incorrect. Only 3 of the 7 founding fathers were slave owners. There were 7 founding fathers of the US Constitution: Franklin, Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Jay, Madison, and Hamilton. 3 were slave owners (Washington, Jefferson, and Madison all from Virginia). 3 were not (Adams, Jay, and Hamilton) In fact they were adamantly against slavery. Franklin became an abolitionist after the Constitutional Convention in 1785 and freed both his slaves. The founding fathers from Virgina (later a confederate state) were pro-slavery. The others from New York or Massachusettes were against slavery. This initial philosophical contradiction during the founding of the US wasn't resolved until 80 years later during the US Civil War.
From what I remember none of them were really atheist. They were all (or mainly all) deists.For all intents and purposes they where Atheists, at the given time it was more socially and politically acceptable to just call yourself a deist.
Not really....
All of it. The definition of the term "Founding Fathers" is those men who helped write those two documents. Michael Montagne
Franklin, Washington, Adams, Hamilton, Jefferson there are really a lot of possible ones.
i do not really know, after some founding fathers i guess, back in 5,000 bc. our ansectors must have found greece.
well i don't really know i just know that this was the Founding Fathers' "brilliant idea"
I presume you mean the founding fathers? At that time there wasn't really the concept of agnostic - that was coined around 100 years after 1776. The religious beliefs of the founding fathers is interpreted from their writings; based on that Franklin was probably "agnostic" or atheist, George Washington may also have been agnostic.
No. By the time the revolution happened they had been the colonies for many years, so there really wasn't family left in Europe.
because he was like really really smart and like belived in like natural rights and he was like smart and Jefferson like took his ideals and was influenced deeply from them and stuff
