Col. MASON. This infernal trafic originated in the avarice of British Merchants. The British Govt. constantly checked the attempts of Virginia to put a stop to it.

Mason was a frequent speaker at the Convention and there are a lot of what he said in those notes. In this instance Mason was one of many people who recognized that America didn't want slavery, and Britain forced it on us anyways.
