At the end of the day, we needed the someone to assert the idea of individual liberty. It had never been known until the American revolution. In that day, every living person was a slave to a king somewhere. But once the world saw America throw off a king for self-rule, freedom suddenly became aspirational everywhere. In my view, that trumps the slavery issue when assessing the Founders' contribution to humanity.

In terms of what did the most heavy lifting in liberty so far yeah perhaps.

I mean on principle though that's still way better than not admitting those self evident truths.
