Uh, you want to be a little more specific as to where in the Constitution
ou
find that slavery was ever _legal_ under U.S. Constitutional law? The first
time I even _find_ the word "slavery" is in the Thirteenth Amendment that
specifically states that slavery is _illegal_.
Perhaps it was considered by some to be "legal" simply because there was NO
federal law saying that it was _illegal_.
