In order to get the southern states to ratify the new Constitution they legalized slavery. Your ignorance of history is a amazing.It is word salad100% truth. I know how liberals hate the truth. You can try to have a rebuttal from an academic and historical point of view...but you have none.Makes absolutely no senseOur founders did exactly that. The great empires allowed it in the hinterlands but not in the homeland. We were the hinterlands so it got its start in our culture. Civil War had to happen because ratification of the Constitution was an imperative.Total nonsenseHindsight is always 20/20. If we look back into the 18th and 19th centuries ...the world of the founders of our nation...we see and international battle ground between Spain, France, and Great Britain. Washington, Jefferson, and Madison were 5th generation slave owners. From a class of people that held all the economic and political power in the South. To a man they disagreed with slavery. But how were they going to end it? Screaming in the streets like today’s liberal historians think they should have? These men would have been hanged by their own class of people. Instead they put in place a system based on constitutional law that would allow for a gradual elimination of slavery. We can’t judge them based on OUR TIME...but we must judge them on their time. They moved as fast as speed could practically allow.

Now leftist (we have no Democratic Party anymore) want to destroy them, tear down plaques, statues, and rewrite history. Very dangerous.
Slavery was nowhere near extinction. So much so that slave owners preferred treason and war to allowing their slaves a path to freedom.
Cost us 600,000 lives to get rid of slavery while most nations were willing to just let it go
