I think you misunderstand what I said. I understand that the Republican Party absolutely opposed any attempt to expand slavery's territory. We already agreed on that. They also weren't fond of it generally, but did not intend to destroy it where it already existed. 9. That we brand the recent re-opening of the African slave-trade, under the cover of our national flag, aided by perversions of judicial power, as a crime against humanity and a burning shame to our country and age; and we call upon Congress to take prompt and efficient measures for the total and final suppression of that execrable traffic. I presume that refers to interstate sale of slaves. Importation into the United States became illegal in 1808 by Constitutional provision.
