There are many things that we can be judged for in the future.
I do not excuse the founders for their own actions, but just the same they were the products of their time as surely as we are. It is extremely difficult to pull oneself out of one's shoes. We naturally believe we are correct (and better) - of course.
In the founders time it was believed that slavery was going to die out naturally, as indeed it was.
