Btw, somehow, I don't think that John Adams or George Washington would have agreed with your assessment and dismissing of the role women played during the founding of the USA.

Lincoln the great white supremacist who believed that freed slaves should be sent back to Africa.
Please remember he did not free any slaves in the North, and yes there were some of them. US Grant was a slave owner who stated had the war been about ending slavery he would have fought with the slavers.
