“Nope. The word slavery does not appear in US Constitution.”

See Article I, Section 2.

See Article I, Section 9.

See Article IV, Section 2.

Now, buy a good thesaurus.

Any time you have to refer to yet outside definitions, you’re in trouble. “persons bound” or “unfree persons” did not just include slaves. It included indentured servants.

Nice try though. It’s amazing the lengths to which neoconfederates will go to defend slavery in the CSA which, by the way, DID use the term slavery, and which Alexander Stephens said was the purpose of forming the CSA-—to ensure the permanence of slavery.
