Sounds like you're excusing them to me.
They were a bunch of slave driving, Indian genociding motherfuckers is what they were.
They only reason they did so well wealth wise is because they stole all the land and natural resources from the Indians that had been good stewards of them for thousands of years and proceeded, with the help of black African slave labor, to exploit and decimate it within a handful of generations to their immense profit.
And I'm supposed to revere these Alpha Hotels as my "Founding Fathers"?
Fuck that shit.
