The Big Bad Wolf.
They did have ever leave us something to build on.
Agreed. They sure enough did. But this sort of conjecture, about who they would chose now, is sorta ridiculous.
They were the "liberals" of their time. But they believed that women, and non-whites were inferior to white men. And that's just for starters.
What was fine and dandy in their time..isn't really fine and dandy now.
Damn you understood that? I need to start proof reading my post. It's bad when I have to question what I wrote.
In other words
I stated that they left us a foundation to build on.
I understood it fine, my friend.
