The clause prohibited the Federal govt from from limiting the importation of ‘’persons''. It does not use the word ''slave.

Are ya gonna lie to yourself about what they mean? Woodpusher, could you provide the text of Congress's law banning the import of "persons" so we can see what sort of "persons" they were referring to by stopping their import in 1808?
