I guess my point was it points out the fallacy that people (not you) make insisting that the FF wanted slavery but compromises to leave it in place for the formation of the country. Less than 100 years later, slavery was banned well ahead of all modern countries of the time.

In England , the slavery abolition act of 1833 outlawed slavery in England and most of the British Empire.

Yeah, but not for the reasons we have been led to believe.

Before they were going to ban it, they voted to make it permanent through constitutional amendment.

Look up the "Corwin Amendment."
