came in here to post this

also, sowell put it best - something along the lines that the founding generation saw it as an immoral burden but also an inheritance many were bound to the maintenance of

a conflict of interest, if you will

their "compromise", then, was to ban the atlantic trade in 1808, left the question to the states, and let later generations sort out the question (which resulted in the civil war)


Thank you. I am surprised at how few seem to understand that.
