Lot of hypocrites

Importing of slaves was outlawed by constitution in 1808

Smuggling of slaves continued for 50 years, until Civil War
put end to it. Many prominent business people in places like NY would invest in such deals. Would buy a ship, build
tiers of bunks in holds, hire captain and crew

When confronted by naval frigate would often dump the slaves
overboard to get rid of evidence
