Question 12

For this question,refer to the following excerpt. Mr.Martin proposed to vary article 7,sect.4 so as to allow a prohibition or tax on the importation of slaves....[He believed] it was inconsistent with the principles of the Revolution,and dishonorable to the American character,to have such a feature [promoting the slave trade] in the Constitution....
Mr)[Oliver] Ellsworth [of Connecticut] was for leaving the clause as it stands.Let every state import what it pleases.The morality or wisdom of slavery are considerations belonging to the states themselves....
Col)[George] Mason [of Virginia stated that] this infernal trade originated in the avarice of British merchants.The British government constantly checked the attempts of Virginia to put a stop to it.The Western people are already calling out for slaves for their new lands,and will fill that country with slaves,if they can be got through South Carolina and Georgia.Slavery discourages arts and manufactures.The poor despise labor when performed by slaves.They prevent the immigration of whites,who really enrich and strengthen a country....
Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant.They bring the judgment of Heaven on a country.As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world,they must be in this.By an inevitable chain of causes and effects,Providence punishes national sins by national calamities....He held it essential,in every point of view,that the general government should have power to prevent the increase of slavery....
Gen)[Charles C.] Pinckney [argued that] South Carolina and Georgia cannot do without slaves....He contended that the importation of slaves would be for the interest of the whole Union.The more slaves,the more produce to employ the carrying trade;the more consumption also;and the more of this,the more revenue for the common treasury....
