The Constitution of 1787 expressly placed slavery outside of the reach of federal power. It may not have been pro-slavery in intent, but it was pro-slavery in effect. Douglass was making a strategic argument that proved successful, but Garrison was right on the merits. — PolitiTweet.org

Was the Constitution pro-slavery? Frederick Douglass didn’t think so, and neither should you.… https://t.co/PvT9gnjqfV

@johnlk_80 @imillhiser 1. The ban on the slave trade wasn’t a forward thinking moment of humanity, it was a Southern concession in return for getting a ban on import taxes for slaves and export taxes for goods. 2. Slavery wouldn’t be banned in DC until 1863, under Lincoln and the radicals. — PolitiTweet.org
