Logic is not one of your strong points, is it creek?

Personal feuds exist in all societies, even the most homogeneous. The existence of personal feuds among the founders says nothing about the diversity or homogeneity of the founding generation.

But the writing of founding father John Jay does address the issue of diversity directly, and unfortunately for your argument he says that the generation that fought the American Revolution were remarkable for their sameness, not their diversity. Now, in case repetition may serve to help your ability to absorb primary evidence, here is what the good Mr. Jay wrote in Federalist #2:

“With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people — a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.”
