God you sound like a god&$@ed liberal. America was founded by a bunch of rich, white, racist that didn’t want to pay their taxes. If you hate America so much you should just leave.
The truth is most of the founding fathers knew slavery was wrong and incompatible with the Declaration of Independence they signed. But it was more important to have America than it was to get rid of slavery. So they kicked the can down the road hoping future generations would get rid of it.
They were so embarrassed by slavery they wouldn’t even mention it by name in the US constitution. Not so the southern rebel leaders you seem to have your lips permanently attached to their fourth point of contact. They used the word slavery many times in their constitution and also made it impossible for any state, or new territory to get rid of it.
Not so our founding fathers. They outlawed slavery in the northwest ordinance and allowed states to outlaw slavery in the constitution. Get it through your thick head that there is no moral equivalency between the founding fathers and the southern rebel leaders of 1860.
“But it was more important to have America (with slavery) than it was to get rid of slavery.”
Many up North probably would not have voted to enshrine slavery into the United States Constitution at all if it had not been in their economic and political best self interest.
