"The message today seems not to be what can you do for your country, but what can your country do for you"


I do have a problem with this, the constitution did not allow slavery, in the preambe it states that all men are to be treated equal regardless of race and that everyone has the god given right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Now slavery would kind of hinder liberty and pursuit of happiness for those enslaved now wouldn't it?

If I remember correctly that was the south that wanted that not the north, I live in the north the intepretation of the constitution I believe in says that slavery was never allowed thats why we had a war over it.
