Explanation:

1. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and kept his own children enslaved.
2. George Washington was the general who won the Revolutionary War and tried to recapture an enslaved woman who escaped from his home.
3. Samuel Adams is not well - known for the specific actions described here.
4. Benjamin Franklin was more of a scientist, inventor, and diplomat, and not typically associated with these particular contradictions. Thomas Jefferson also contributed to the displacement of indigenous people and advocated for American identity, while George Washington did not push for expanded voting rights in a way that included women or people of color.

Answer:

"Kept his own children enslaved. Wrote the Declaration of Independence." - Thomas Jefferson
"Advocated for a sense of American identity. Contributed to the displacement of indigenous people." - Thomas Jefferson
"General who won the Revolutionary War. Tried to recapture an enslaved woman who escaped from his home." - George Washington
"Pushed for expanded voting rights. Saw no reason for white women or people of color to be able to vote." - No clear match among the given founders as none of them pushed for expanded voting rights in an inclusive way, but if we consider the context of the time and the limited view of voting rights, none of these founders were advocates for non - white male suffrage.
