    I meant everyone who established Congress.

    Congress didn’t get established as it is by a slave owning south to the chagrin of the not-slave-owning-north.

    Slavery was only ever (very rightfully) addressed far after.

    That was the point I was making.

      Gotcha. Then yes, all of the forefathers were rich enough to own slaves and did so.
