So, the institution of slavery was present in the thirteen colonies at the time of the Revolution and the states where slavery existed entered the federal union as such. Slavery was a legal and recognised institution and the economy of the South rested upon it. Hypocrites such as yourself who had no vested interest in the condition of the slave states could afford to dine out on their virtue. It costs t nothing and produced a warm glow of sanctimony not unlike what modern leftists feel as they contemplate what wonderfully virtuous folks they are.
