I addition to my argument which you cannot get around (that the southern democrats wanted to federalise slavery) another argument will be this: that the constitution did give the federal government power to regulate slavery including making it illegal.
it was already regulating slavery at the federal level.
The United States Constitution granted Congress the power to regulate the institution of slavery in several ways. One of the most significant provisions was the Fugitive Slave Clause, which was included in Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution. This clause stated that "No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, but shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due." This clause required states to return runaway slaves to their owners and prohibited them from enacting laws that would protect or assist slaves who had escaped from bondage.
In addition, the Constitution granted Congress the power to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, which included the trade in slaves. The Constitution also gave Congress the power to pass laws to enforce the provisions of the Constitution, including those related to slavery. These powers enabled Congress to pass laws regulating the institution of slavery and the treatment of slaves.
If anything, it reaffirms Slavery, and it affirms Private Prisons, which are as bad or worse than Slavery....
The Commerce Clause, regulates Commerce, and yes, the Slave trade is still Commerce, and the Federal Govt always gets it's Taxes, it didn't and doesn't regulate anything, it only enforces a Tax....
It definitely reaffirms slavery. Correct, It also shows that The Commerce Clause gives Congress the power to regulate commerce among the states and with foreign countries. It is found in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution and reads as follows: "The Congress shall have power ... To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."
And yet, instead of Blocking Slavery as in blocking the selling of Slaves between states, they made the 13th Amendment and made Slavery into a thing that only Govt is allowed to practice....
Lincoln didn't even end slavery, the emancipation proclamation was strictly to hurt the confederacy. Center states that were not the southern democrat states were allowed to keep slavery. Lincoln said himself, if slavery would keep the union together he would keep it even though he personally finds it gross. You forget that?
