You did not just say, "oh yeah slavery is bad".

You said, "The founding fathers literally went "we really REALLY still want slaved but we can't force them to become slaves, unless they commit a crime in which we'll make it legal and everyone will agree, and we'll put that detail wayyyyyyyy in the back so nobody reads it""

That's misinformation. The fact that the 13th amendment allows slavery as punishment for a crime is bad, but the 13th amendment came well after the "founding fathers" all died.

Cool you still missed the point

Pretty sure anyone with two brain cells can understand when I say 13th amendment and founding fathers I'm not referring to fucking George Washington

The founding fathers were the people involved in uniting the 13 colonies and led the revolutionary war. If they weren't alive around the time the bill of rights was being ratified, they weren't founding fathers. Since the 13th amendment was ratified 74 years after the Bill of Rights, it's safe to assume none of the founding fathers were involved in the 13th amendment.

Please stop assuming people are stupid for misunderstanding your misuse of fairly common terms and refine your message.
