Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A special committee worked out another compromise: Congress would have the power to ban the slave trade, but not until 1800. The convention voted to extend the date to 1808. A final major issue involving slavery confronted the delegates.
Detailed explanation-2: -By 1804, all Northern states had voted to abolish the institution of slavery within their borders.
Detailed explanation-3: -Abolition became a goal only later, due to military necessity, growing anti-slavery sentiment in the North and the self-emancipation of many people who fled enslavement as Union troops swept through the South. READ MORE: How Many US Presidents Owned Enslaved Workers?
