At no time since have we been so divided as now. It's frightening.

Division is normal as we are not identical.

@@WJack97224 However, many of the divisions in the US are based on lies just as they were back then. "Black people were meant to be enslaved by God", "the South will cease to have an income without slavery", "owning slaves is our birthright", "the Civil War was based not on slavery but on trade laws and state's rights", all lies.

"The Constitution set an end date for the international trade in slaves", what was that date and where, in the Constitution, is that found?

I did find this: At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, delegates fiercely debated the issue of slavery. They ultimately agreed that the United States would potentially cease importation of slaves in 1808. An act of Congress passed in 1800 made it illegal for Americans to engage in the slave trade between nations, and gave U.S. authorities the right to seize slave ships which were caught transporting slaves and confiscate their cargo. Then the "Act Prohibiting the Importation of Slaves" took effect in 1808. However, a domestic or "coastwise" trade in slaves persisted between ports within the United States, as demonstrated by slave manifests and court records.

In Jefferson's early drafts of the Declaration he proposed the freeing of the slaves. The southern colonies obviously would not except such a proposal. To break from England all must be in one accord.

This doesn’t tell the whole story. States rights and limited federal government was the issue then as it is now.

Slavery was added to the bill because manipulation of emotions is easier than manipulating facts. And since they couldn't fight states rights facts, they needed the emotional association of slavery to achieve victory over individual liberty, Slavery was on its way out of society, some were just getting there faster than others.
