I didn’t tell you that. Slavery did not need to be mentioned. It was an acknowledged fact of the time that slavery was a legal institution. The question of fair representation arose over how slave population should be counted.

“I didn’t tell you that.”

I didn’t mean to imply that you did.

I saw you were interested in the debate, I made a comment, and added your name to the list.

I did not intend to offend and apologize if I did.
