It's been decades and the liberals are still using the "But everyone else did slavery" excuse.

The follow up is just straight up denial mixed with severe historical illiteracy. (BTW, I was talking about the Fugitive slave act of 1793 that passed in congress).

They get to be technically correct because a lot of European countries have either post-WW2 founding documents or lack one entirely.
Yeah. I realized this when writing a reply. They were trying to set up a 'gotcha' for being technically incorrect. It's absurd on its face but easy to defend on technicality. What's really important here is that slavery is bad and your founding documents can be amended or straight up replaced as time passes. Your founding documents should be codified into law instead of being vague gestures at how laws should be made anyway.
