As for the references to slavery in the US Constitution, Lincoln says, “I believe our government was thus framed because of the necessity springing from the actual presence of slavery, when it was framed.” And you and I know it was to placate Georgia and North Carolina.
On the other hand, jeffersondem, incessantly and ad nausea must refer to the US Constitution as “pro-slavery”. Who should I listen to?
This is actually a point on which I disagree with you.
As I understand it, you contend the states of New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware and Maryland voted to enshrine slavery into the U.S. constitution for the benefit of Georgia and North Carolina. (Most northern apologists say Georgia and South Carolina, but no matter).
It is my view the 13 states voted to include slavery in the U.S. constitution because each state thought it was their own best self-interest.
