The minute the Constitution was ratified, slavery should have been abolished and all slaves should have been either returned to Africa or the slaves at the time given full U.S. citizenship and rights, and then paid a fair wage if they wanted to continue picking cotton. Would have saved the U.S. trillions of dollars and millions of lives.

The Constitution never would have been ratified then, and the great experiment in self government, the common law, individual rights, and equal justice under the law, would never have happened. It was so radical that it will never happen again after we fall. It is so radical, that it has already been destroyed.
