Now, bear in mind your refusal to stop clutching to Critical Race Theory slogans.
The first thing I would recommend to put a stop to slavery in this country, is to leave off importing slaves. For this purpose let our assemblies unite in petitioning the king and parliament to dissolve the African committee of merchants: It is by them that the trade is chiefly carried on to America.
Those who were abolitionists believed that there was no separation. If you could end the slave trade, you would end slavery. Full stop.
That's Benjamin Rush quoted, one of our Founding Fathers who wrote that. That is what abolitionists actually believed in the 1700s, and not the fake revisionist history garbage that all of us were taught.
"Oh that wasn't slavery! That was just the slave trade"
BS!!!!! It's nothing but 1619 Project BS that you keep promoting.
In that specific regard banning the slave trade and slavery were the exact, exact, !E!X!A!C!T! equivalent same thing. The original sources aren't wrong. It's your CRT historians - THEY are who is wrong and you look foolish relying on them.
The Constitution of the United States: is it pro-slavery or anti-slavery?
No less philanthropic, no less clear-sighted men than your own Wilberforce and Clarkson supposed that the abolition of the slave-trade would be the abolition of slavery. Their theory was - cut off the stream, and of course the pond or lake will dry up: cut off the stream flowing out from Africa, and the slave-trade in America and the colonies would perish. The fathers who framed the American constitution supposed that in making provision for the abolition of the African slave-trade they were making provision for the abolition of slavery itself, and they incorporated this clause in the constitution, not to perpetuate the traffic in human flesh, but to bring that unnatural traffic to an end.
