Then why were the Electoral College and the Second Amendment not done away with at the end of the Civil War? Clueless, myopic Liberals such as yourself are becoming an anachronism. The Constitution is alive and well, in spite of you people.
You are an idiot. Slavery remained legal in four Northern States that did not secede, and was not ended there until nearly a year after Lee's surrender.
Of the 55 men who became known as the Founding Fathers, members of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, almost half were slave owners. (29). 11 of the 29 were Northerners.
As slavery became unprofitable in the north due to increasing industrialization, the oh, so moral northerners sold their slaves to buyers in other states, (including the four northern states where slavery remained legal). They then became abolitionists who demanded that the people who had bought their slaves free them with no remuneration. There was not one single US flagged slave ship that was ever owned by Southern interests. They were all owned by Northerners, many of whom became "abolitionists" after making their own fortunes off the trade in human bondage.Every US flagged slave ship was owned by Northerners. Pay attention, Nikolai. Every. Single. One.
Your argument that the Second Amendment was simply so Southern slave owners could chase their runaway slaves is beyond ridiculous. The US was overwhelmingly rural, with very little law enforcement. Large parts were wilderness. Sure, the Second Amendment was included simply because some one or two percent of the population owned slaves. Every time I think you cannot be any more naive or ill-informed, you surprise me again.

The Electoral College was devised to placate the southern slave states who had smaller white populations and large black slave populations and the electoral college was a devise to give the slaves states more power. The second amendment was another concession to the slave owners who maintained well regulated militia's for running down runaway slaves and up risings all young men in the south were required to serve in these militias and provide their own weapon. Bothe the second amendment and the electoral college are 18th century concepts are out dated and have no place in a modern 21st century society
