The Inception of Slavery

Slavery, as we know it, started flourishing in the United States during the 17th century. Africans were captured and forcefully transported overseas to work on plantations, making large profits for their owners. However, as the growing moral opposition to slavery gained ground, it became evident that this system was at odds with the principles upon which the nation was founded.

Many prominent thinkers and activists emerged during this time, challenging the constitutionality of slavery. Their arguments centered around the belief that every individual possesses a natural right to freedom, and that no law should violate this fundamental principle.

"The Unconstitutionality of Slavery" is a book by American abolitionist Lysander Spooner advocating the view that the United States Constitution prohibited slavery. This view was advocated in contrast to that of William Lloyd Garrison who advocated opposing the constitution on the grounds that it supported slavery. In the pamphlet, Spooner shows that none of the state governments of the slave states specifically authorized slavery, that the U.S. Constitution contains several clauses that are contradictory with slavery, that slavery was a violation of natural law, and that the intentions of the Constitutional Convention have no legal bearing on the document they created.
