The original Constitution allowed slavery. It was hardly perfect. True, but the Constitution would not have been ratified by southern states had slavery been outlawed instantly. Instead, there was a sunset clause, or more accurately a defined protected period, beyond which slavery could be outlawed. And it was. Without the ratification of the COTUS, slavery may have existed far longer than it did, and there would have been at least two countries instead of one. It could be argued that the original compromise was the best step forward possible for southern slaves. |
