I hate to sound ignorant but what actually did they remove concerning slavery that prompted South Carolina to vote aye? I have never read or heard that. Good movie though, we dvr’d it.
It was just a couple of seemingly innocuous lines originally written by Jefferson but I can’t remember the exact verbiage. Something to the effect that no man should bow nor be subjected to serving a man or country in slavery.
Perhaps someone can help me out.
BTW less forceful (in my estimation) that “All men are created equal”.... in the Preamble.
I don’t know how accurate the play/movie is. But as a drama, it is deeply moving and entertaining.
