Yeah, and South Carolina wanted it in or they wouldn’t sign.

Fascinating historical tidbit.
Really makes you wonder how different things would be if the colonists decided to just skip the revolution and work an accomodation with the crown instead. It would have saved us 2 wars for certain and probably a third and fourth as well. Slavery would have ended well before it did.
And the key issue: are we actually all that much freer as a result? We have a Bill of Rights that is occasionally followed. And that’s something.

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York vehemently opposed the importation of slaves because it was a significant part of their economy. Virginia and North Carolina wanted slavery out.
