No, I'm saying that this is just another excuse to restrict trade.

Americans are a people who ultimately found slave labor so morally repugant we desired our government to defend that viewpoint. We actually amended our Constitution it was such a profound desire.

Now, what you are are saying,if I understand you correctly, in the name of 'trade', we should violate that pact we have made as a people?

No, you do not understand me correctly. In my view, if you are in favor of restricting trade, you are in favor of slavery since restrictions on trade are just another form of slavery. When you dictate a source of supply, you make the purchaser the slave of the source. If you are so much against slavery, you should be against restrictions on trade.
