Yes, but the faults, like gossip, can be exaggerated to the point where they become more important than the greatness which was achieved, as though they should have shared billing.
I am a history major and through my many years of history classes K-12 + five years of college I never had a teacher who emphasized the bad over the good when it came to the Founders. After all, what make the biggest impact in history: Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase or his philandering with slave women?
