WRONG! You are a representative in the Congress of the United States first and foremost. You are following the path of the South in the Congress before the Civil War: they put slavery first and foremost: In letting new States into the Union. In RUSHING into new territories with their slaves, to cement a pro-slavery voter block.
Every new frontier, including Kentucky, they rushed into with their slaves.
Not the Northwest Territory though, which forbade slavery. "The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 forbade slavery in the Northwest Territory. This legislation established the territory as a free region, which significantly influenced the future political landscape regarding slavery in the United States."
