First draft constitution didnt have slaves
If that were the case, everyone would be considered a racist by our modern sense of morality.
The south were always behind
Uh yeah you do, and the same moral concepts have existed for much longer than this country
Not really, no.
Common law, civil law, law of war, etc
The same general guidelines have existed a long time
Abolitionism is a very recent concept born out of the Protestant reformation and the rise of freedom of interpretation and the definition of rights.
Common law allows for slavery, you know?
They wanted to free the slaves in 1776 my confused furry friend
Those ideals were strong even then
The entire concept of slavery being evil is a new concept birthed in the 1700’s and 1800’s.
Its not some insane concept
Read my statement, nibba.
Its not seen as just
Slavery began in the United States in the early 1600’s.
Slavery was banned in various countries centuries before us
Or what would become the United State.
Where all people are entitled to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness
No, the first country to officially abolish slavery was the United Kingdom in 1833z
Only thirty years before the American Civil War.
They wanted to abolish it vefore america began bro
The south demanded slaves
Thats the only reason its in there at all
Otherwise we would have been first
Japan abolished slavery in 1590
China in 1723
You and your fucking asian history knowledge lol
>Japan.
>China.
Both countries guy
Pennsylvania Abolition Society formed in 1775
Ah, the countries famous for basically treating their population like slaves banned slaves first.
Again, read my statement, bruh.
1700’s was when abolitionism became a concept.
Except in japan
Gradual abolition of slavery in various states in 1700s
It didn’t catch on until the 1800’s.
Except in the north where it did?
And most of those places still would recognize slave property.
Since before America was formed?
