They were not all slave owners; some were passionately opposed to slavery. As ironic as it is in certain ways, the documents they left us are still the basis for moving forward in the areas of social justice. The Bill of Rights etc. would be considered very progressive today.

me when I'm passionately opposed to slavery but do literally nothing about it until I am absolutely forced to
