I believe it would be impossible to claim that all off the founders truly believede that ALL men are created equal. I'm sure the "opinion" was instilled in some of there minds, however, at that time it was just not acceptable to support the idea 100%. It was a "new" idea, and one that has taken a path in the right direction, however, at the time of our founders, prejudice was still a "normal" feeling, opinion, etc.
well I agree with Ryan but, we do not know for sure whether or not the founders were 100% in support that all men were created equal.
