These men would write the Constitution, and establish a new American republic built on the principle that, “all men are created equal.” Yet, more than half a million black Americans were slaves. Ten states had already outlawed the slave trade, but Georgia and the two Carolinas threatened to walk out if slavery was banned. As a compromise, the Constitution would allow the importation of slaves until 1808. Further disputes over political representation and taxation led to the ⅗ Compromise, a degradation that counted slaves as ⅗ of a person. The Founding Fathers were intent on creating a new government; leaving critical questions of equality and freedom to future generations. Hundreds of years later, Americans continue the struggle for racial equality and the realization of the ideals embodied in the Declaration of Independence.\n
