What is meant by "the Founding Fathers were men of their time"
Their people started to call them the Founding Fathers because they helped progress America. They were, at the time, the country's leaders and the people thought they should be reconized as such.
America's founding fathers wanted a country that was prosperous, safe, and free. They did not want a king or emperor. They wanted (most of them, anyway) freedom from a government-sponsored religion as England and France had at that time. They wanted a system where the common people had some ability to say and do and live as they wanted.
Interesting facts about founding fathers: Ben Franklin was not president, even though he is on the $100 bill. Also, he, like most people in his time, though fresh, nighttime air was bad. I don't know why.
The Founding Fathers favored "capitalism" in that they disliked and fought against the British Empire enforcing strict taxation of and control over American products and trade. At the time of the Revolution, of course, there was not the prevalence of huge corporations, global financial institutions and large scale investment. However, the Founding Fathers, favored merchants, farmers and anyone else who worked for their own profit.

I presume you mean the founding fathers? At that time there wasn't really the concept of agnostic - that was coined around 100 years after 1776. The religious beliefs of the founding fathers is interpreted from their writings; based on that Franklin was probably "agnostic" or atheist, George Washington may also have been agnostic.

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that the founding fathers of America appeared to the prophet Wilford Woodruff in a vision and requested that they be baptized posthumously into the Church. Check out the "Related Links" below to see an artists depiction of these event. ------------------------------------ Another Answer: None of them. Dead people do not appear to the living, and a large majority of the founding fathers were already dead by the time the mormon church was founded.
First, Joseph J. Ellis's book, Founding Brothers, is not a novel. It is a non-fiction account of the interrelationships of various Founding Fathers over certain specific issues during the time of the creation of the United States of America. We refer to men like Washington, Adams, Franklin, Jefferson and others as "Founding Fathers" because they are from prior generations. But during their lifetimes, they were of the same generations just like brothers are. The book goes into several topics where the "Founding Fathers" had some strong differences of opinion and even fought amongst themselves in much the same way that brothers argue over matters within their families. The Founding Fathers were certainly not all of the same political mind, even though it might seem that way to us now.
