But they did. They ended slavery, child labor, and gave women the vote.

Slavery, of course, was wrong...and it was corrected. Using your standard here, one would have to say that the founding fathers who owned slaves were far from great. Right?

It wasn't corrected for another 65 years.
And the founding fathers were a product of their time, as we are of ours.

You sound so "liberal" in your reply. I wonder what institutions ended slavery and enacted child labor laws...hhhhmmmmmm

The Republicans ended slavery.
The first anti-child labor laws were started in 1904. Teddy Roosevelt was President.
