By matching the Founder with an example of a contradiction in their life around the concept of freedom we have the following:

Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence -- enslaved his children.

This is evident as the historical account has shown that Beverly, Harriet, Madison, and Eston Hemings were his children and they are slaves.

Sam Adams, politician, signer of the Declaration of Independence -- failed to defend the property rights of Indigenous people.

This is evident as he failed to defend the property rights of Indigenous people in his famous book titled "Rights of the Colonist." However, he defended that of the American colonists.

George Washington, General in the Continental Army -- tried to recapture an enslaved woman who escaped to New Hampshire.

This is evident when he tried to recaptured Ona Judge, the then 22-year-old slave girl in 1796 and 1799.

Hence, in this case, it can be concluded that some of the American founding fathers did contradictory actions while they are alive.
