Slavery was recognized as an evil by our founding fathers.

But they also realized it would take time to eliminate something that had been around for ever... world wide.

Slavery is an evil practice that thwarts God’s will and robs the slave of their dignity and denies them their inalienable rights as enumerated in the Construction.

It failed because a just society recognises the humanity of the individual.

It’s making a comeback (human trafficking) because we are turning from God.

Simple.

Your html tags are mismatched. The b should close before the center.

Even without the bloody civil war Avery would have ended from simple economics. Slaves were too costly.

Because it was evil but everyone seemed to support it

The North and Britain wanted cheap cotton and rice which meant slavery. When they killed the goose that laid the golden egg, the North moved their mills south where they had cheap labor. They exchanged slavery for child labor and almost captive employees.

“Why did Slavery fail in America?”

Because the Confederacy elected an inept Democrat as their president, the Confederate army got stomped into the ground by the Union, and Gen. Lee was shaking in his boots at Appomattox.

The Jesuit Order and British Monarchy colluded to use the issue of slavery in America to foment a civil war which would depopulate and demoralize the country, end sovereignty and state rights and re-enslave the remaining Americans under 14th Amendment corporate (British territory) citizenship effectually returning the American colonies back to British rule through legal trickery and semantic deceit.

Slavery didn’t fail in America. It continues under a different, undisclosed name and no one is aware of it except that some of us have been feeling like this constitutional representative republic thing doesn’t seem to be working the way we were taught it should.

At the time of the drafting of the Constitution, slavery was a contentious issue. Slavery was moribund in western countries by 1776. It took a little longer in America.

“Why did Slavery fail in America?”

Mostly because industrialization and mechanization, with concurrent large-scale immigration of relatively intelligent, educated, motivated European workers, made slavery uneconomical. Studies such as William Freehlings’ “Road to Disunion” demonstrate that the presense and “density” of slavery thinned steadily decade by decade and north-to-south before the Civil War. Pro-Slavery politicians sensed the closing window; Kentucky and Maryland already lacked enough slavery interests to pull them into the Confederacy. Virginia’s slavery interests were declining and without Virginia, no Confederacy. McCormick’s horsedrawn sowers, reapers, etc., that came out soon after the CW would have finished slavery off. It’s interesting how 5 to 10 years of technological evolution would have made the CW unnecessary.
