“The fact that it was illegal to import new slaves wouldn’t have stopped people from bringing in more slaves unless slavery was abolished in the southern states.”
And just how many do you think they would’ve been able to get away with?
Oh, you want imaginary numbers to go along with an imaginary "what if" that's been going back and forth way too long.
Ok, I guess if it were anything like now.... Lets see... if the southern states, who didn't want to abolish slavery smuggled in new imaginary slaves, how many new imaginary slaves do I think they would have been able to get away with?
LOL Sounds kinda like a 5th grade math quiz. LOL
Hmmm... well, if it's anything like today where our government hasn't really had their hearts set on following our laws on real illegals .... and because back then they couldn't smuggle imaginary people in as quickly as they smuggle in today's real illegals... hmmmm oh, maybe about a million poor imaginary souls.
Have a good one!
