I hate to break it to you, but they actually intended to, you know, not pay unfair taxes and be turned into another India. This country was founded by puritans so overzealously moral that the British couldn't stand them, criminals and non-gentry wealth hoping to strike it wealthier. They did, mostly through slave labor, turned themselves into a lovely gentry in their own right and balked at the fact that the British nobility still treated them like bourgois. Equality just looked good on paper.
Oh, and I have to disagree. I don't think anything really ever changes but our own perspectives.
Everything I've ever read or heard indicated what I'd stated above. One way or another, though, liberty is a large building block of what the Founding Fathers intended for us all when they forged the nation.
You are, of course, entitled to your own views on the matter. I'll continue to hold mine until what time I'm convinced otherwise. ^^
