Are you being sarcastic? Sometimes its hard to tell when people make such extremely stupid statements. Its actually stated in the preamble that government exists to secure the individual liberty's of the people. Therefore slavery is illegal. If you don't feel that black people are people then you truly don't have a place in decent society...

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

"Its actually stated in the preamble that government exists to secure the individual liberty's of the people. Therefore slavery is illegal."

If that is truly the case and slavery was illegal under the original constitution then why was the 13th amendment to the constitution necessary? Thats the amendment that prohibits slavery.

" If you don't feel that black people are people then you truly don't have a place in decent society..."

I won't justify your ridiculous insinuation with a comment!!

Again I'll ask the Question:

"Its actually stated in the preamble that government exists to secure the individual liberty's of the people. Therefore slavery is illegal."

If that is truly the case and slavery was illegal under the original constitution's preamble, then why was the 13th amendment to the constitution necessary? Thats the amendment that prohibits slavery and was declared in force December 18, 1865.

In 1861, blacks WEREN’T considered equal in any way, North or South. (And AFTERWARDS)......
