    Yep, reactionaries today pretend "oh the founding fathers were just products of their times, slavery was normal then". But there was plenty of anti-slavery sentiment, we just don't talk about it. Hell, the French - not exactly enlightened folks w/r/t race - abolished slavery in Haiti within a few years of the US constitution being ratified.

      I think the way the French abolished slavery in Haiti was literally the most destructive way you could possibly do it, short of actually genociding all your slaves.
