Slavery and the Creation of the U.S. Constitution


ID : 1788   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic We will take an in-depth look at the five months in 1787 when Continental representatives in Philadelphia, led by George Washington, created what would become our Constitution and how the institution of slavery and the international slave trade directly influenced that document's language. We will explore how the various compromises in favor of slavery in the Constitution influenced life in American society, led to the Civil War, and left a legacy of racism still infecting the United States today.
