Obviously this depended on the individual. Thomas Jefferson was a pacifist of the first order,and, therefore, would certainly have been anti-war (even though he did send our fledgling Navy, built by John Adams, and nearly cancelled by Jefferson) to fight the pirates of the North African Barbary Coast. Adams understood the importance of a strong defense, certainly Washington understood that unique decisiveness that comes from warfare. Madison will be the first president to actually ask for and receive a Declaration of War in 1812, and will become one of only two sitting presidents ever to lead American troops in the field. (the other was Washington when he personally led troops to put down the Whiskey Rebellion during his administration) So each had his own unique thoughts on the matter and fortunately were level-headed enough to avoid most conflict.
What else can I help you with?
The declaration on independence was influenced by who?
the founding fathers, the colonists who fought the war
Would the Founding Fathers have supported the war in Iraq or opposed it?
Most American politicians before 1900 were very expansionist and aggresive. From what I have read of history, the Founding Fathers probably would have supported the war in Iraq only if the United States was actually going to annex it or obtain serious and de facto control over the oil.
Were the founding fathers paid for their efforts?
The Founding Fathers were not paid for their efforts, and in fact, many pledged their fortunes to help fund the revolution. After the war, the country itself was in significant debt as well.

Why does bank of America provide services to law breaking non American intruders?
Because you stole your land from the native American Indians! For those who don't remember the Revolutionary War...The Indians and Our (English Born) Founding Fathers Shared the Land But the (English Born) Founding Fathers Fought For the Freedom of This Country. Our Founding Fathers asked the Native Americans to Help Fight For the Freedom of This Country and the Indians said "NO." That is why it is Our Country.
Which Founding Father of the US wrote the Bill of Rights?
James Madison wrote the Bill of Rights. He authored twelve amendments, however, only ten were agreed upon. The term for the delegates involved with creating the US Constitution are normally called the Framers, however, many of them were also involved in the war for independence, so with that in mind, the two sets of people can be called founding fathers as well as framers.
What problems did the founding fathers have in drafting the constitution?
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.

George Washington became the president immediately right after the Revolutionary War in the United States. He is also considered as one of the founding fathers of the United States.

What it was as to war is it of the lapse of our founding fathers to generate greats as in quantum theory of massive molecular existence of the acknowledgement of the female gender with the biggest booty, thank you.

"There never was a good war or a bad peace" is a maxim credited to Benjamin Franklin, one of America's founding fathers, before he became a founding father. The quote appeared in a publication created by Franklin, "Poor Richard's Almanac."
What would founding fathers think Americas current debt?
It was not unusual to borrow money, even in the 18th century; the Revolutionary War itself was financed with borrowed money, so the founding fathers would be somewhat understanding about America's debt, although they, like the rest of us, would not be happy about the extremely large size of that debt.
