Yeah but the U.S. CONstitution didnt.No we would rathered the constitution outlaw slavery from the beginning.Remember that when the nutters try to claim that the Civil War wasn't about slavery.
Not like the US Constitution is any better putting blacks at two-thirds that of whites (also legalizing slavery,) and denying women the vote.
So you would rather of had each slave counted so that the South had more power in the Federal Government?
Slavery WAS an issue, but it was more about free states vs. slave states. Lincoln was firmly opposed to slavery in new states. The South wanted the new states to be slave states, otherwise the South would lose power in Congress and would be solidly outnumbered by the representatives of the free states.
