Would the framers still support slavery if alive today
-
They didnt then.
Correct. It was only allowed to continue to get the South on board. The founders knew the commitment of our nation to equality would doom sIavery in the long run.
And they knew the South would not be a perennial problem for our nation's political system.
-
And many of the framers didn't have slaves themselves. Oh wait.
The question was: would they support the institution? The important framers, North and South, did not. They may have owned slaves by inheritance, but that is a different matter.
It's too much for idjits like you to nuance your understanding. But Wetern thought is built on Aristotlean logic, which demands closer attention to the subteltirs of empirical knowledge.

Exactly.
Did American slave owners make the decision to import African slaves and base their economy on them? No. That’s the fault of the English and Spanish.There was a moratorium on ending this put in the Constitution but after twenty years slave importation became illegal. It didnt stop, but it was no longer ssnctioned.

True. It takes time to change the economy forced upon the American people.

The irony is, these same unthinking rubes cannot see parallels in our day to oil dependence and green wlternatives.

I see. Yes, I must have missed that class on Aristotelian logic.
