I'm not disputing you on anything. I'm simply reminding everyone of who actually wrote that amendment ~ Elder John Leland went on to some prominence in the Seventh Day Baptist movement (related to the Christian Church movement), and he regularly spoke out against slavery.

Exceedingly highly respected he was one of the earliest ministers to preach in the North, the South and in between ~ and out on the frontier.

He wrote songs that are still popular.
