“When I say I wish the founders had ended slavery or put a definitive time frame on it ending(like they did the slave trade) I’m wishing the representatives from South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina had the wisdom and foresight to see that slavery was incompatible with a country who’s foundational premise is “all men are created equal”.
The people who drafted the proposed United States Constitution figured they needed at least nine states ratifying to create a viable country. That is what they said: nine shall be sufficient.
Without Georgia and North and South Carolina there was more than enough states to ratify the constitution and have a viable country.
Your eagerness to scapegoat three thirteenths of the original states probably serves some purpose you have in mind. I don’t know.
We do know of the original 13 slave states, 13 of them voted to include slavery in the United States Constitution.
The only purpose I have is the belief that our country would have been better off if we had gotten rid of, or never had, chattel slavery. You seem to not have a problem with slavery. Do you or do you not believe slavery is a great moral wrong?
