“Corner Stone” Speech, Alexander H. Stephens, Savannah, Georgia, March 21, 1861
"The prevailing ideas entertained by him [Thomas Jefferson] and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old Constitution were that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature – that it was wrong in principle – socially, morally, and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with, but the general opinion of the men of that day was that somehow or other, in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent [temporary] and pass away.

In 1789, following the ratification of the Constitution, Congress expanded its fight to end slavery by passing the Northwest Ordinance. That law - establishing how territories could become States in the new United States - forbade slavery in any federal territories then held; and for this reason, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin all eventually came into the nation as free States.

Very few people today know that in 1808 Congress abolished the slave trade. That's because by the 1820's, most of the Founding Fathers were dead and Thomas Jefferson's party, the Democratic Party, which was founded in 1792, had become the majority party in Congress. With this new party a change in congressional policy on slavery emerged. The 1789 law that prohibited slavery in federal territory was reversed when the Democratic Congress passed the Missouri Compromise in 1820. Several States were subsequently admitted as slave States. Slavery was being officially promoted by congressional policy by a Democratically controlled Congress.

The Democratic party policy of promoting slavery ignored the principles in the founding document.

"The first step of the slaveholder to justify by argument the peculiar institutions [of slavery] is to deny the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence. He denies that all men are created equal. He denies that they have inalienable rights." President John Quincy Adams, The Hingham Patriot, June 29, 1839

Would it be too much to ask that there were

Actually the importation of slaves was abolished at the earliest date allowed by the constitution and in the interim laws were written to halt the expansion of slavery. It wasn't until the late 1820's when most of the founding fathers were dead and Democrats were the dominant political party that slavery was expanded.

Sure. America went back to the basics of its foundation.

In 1850 the Democrats passed the Fugitive Slave Law. That law required Northerners to return escaped slaves back into slavery or pay huge fines. The Fugitive Slave Law made anti-slavery citizens in the North and their institutions responsible for enforcing slavery.

The Fugitive Slave Law was sanctioned kidnapping. The Fugitive Slave Law was disastrous for blacks in the North. The Law allowed Free Blacks to be carried into slavery. 20,000 blacks from the North left the United States and fled to Canada. The Underground Railroad reached its peak of activity as a result of the Fugitive Slave Law.

In 1854, the Democratically controlled Congress passed another law strengthening slavery, the Kansas-Nebraska act. Even though slavery was expanded into federal territories in 1820 by the Democratically controlled Congress, a ban on slavery was retained in the Kansas Nebraska territory. But through the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Democrats vastly expanded the national area where slavery was permitted as the Kansas and Nebraska territories comprised parts of Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, and Idaho. The Democrats were pushing slavery westward across the nation.

In 1856, the Democratic platform strongly defended slavery.

“All efforts of the abolitionists... are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences and all such efforts have an inevitable tendency to diminish the happiness of the people.” McKee, The National...Platforms, Democratic Platform of 1856, p.91

According to the Democrats of 1856, ending slavery would be dangerous and would ruin the happiness of the people.

In 1857, a Democratically controlled Supreme Court delivered the Dred Scott decision, declaring that blacks were not persons or citizens but instead were property and therefore had no rights.

Democrats on the Court announced that "blacks had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the Negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit" Dred Scott at 407 (1856)

Why are you doing this, pretending the constitution did not enable and support slavery? Are you a Kracker trying to deflect?

​

The Fugitive Slave Clause in the United States Constitution of 1789, also known as either the Slave Clause or the Fugitives From Labor Clause, is Article IV, Section 2, Clause 3, which requires a "person held to service or labor" who flees to another state to be returned to their master in the state from which that person escaped.Wikipedia​

So the constitution was based on socially, morally and politically wrong principles. I know. And people pretend it was about liberty, then defend it with deflections.
Amazing.

It's amazing that you still don't know the first thing about slavery in America. Slavery was a British institution that our country inherited and the founding fathers did their best to untangle it.

The Democratically controlled SCOTUS thought so. Of course they also ruled that slaves were property to be disposed of at the will of its owner.

Meister I think it's gross to celebrate it which of course I have a right to protest it unless the tech companies and their bed mate government politicians decide I cannot protest it.

It wouldn't surprise me to discover that Bill Gates is their leader.

At which they failed, leaving the US to establish its economic base on chattel slavery while wittering about liberty.
