If anything, they'd have mixed feelings. With the bad, there's alot of good. Even in our struggling time, we're at the top and have achieved things none of them could have foreseen. People are too quick to say the founding fathers would be totally disappointed with the US at the moment. They would probably be impressed by some things, disappointed by others, and not surprised about a few problematic things that came to pass. But no one can really say in the end, I suppose.
If we went back to see America during its' early days, most wouldn't be too pleased either.
The USA of today is hell of a lot better than the one during their era.

This.I think if given the opportunity of hindsight, I think they'd first be disappointed in themselves for not dealing with slavery and mistreatment of Native Americans upfront. I think they'd be disappointed in some things but at the same time incredibly proud of what we've done.
- Their founding documents have become the benchmark for all countries on earth that desire freedom and government at the consent of the governed.
- People doing everything they can and getting on waiting lists to make America their home.
- The country they founded invented modern aviation, electric light, the computer, the Internet, satellite communications and put human beings on the moon.
More in awe than disappointed I think.
