yeah, some were that, and others were not. geo washington was the single richest man in america, and risked more than most to form this republic. john adams was never wealthy, never owned slaves, and i doubt could be called corrupt by anyone.
now, jefferson....i haven't got anything good to say about him. but i think to say they were the most corrupt and least admirable is quite a leap.
