George Fitzhugh used assumptions about white superiority to justify slavery writing that "the Negro is but a grown up child and must be governed as a child." in the Universal Law of Slavery Fitzhugh argues that slavery provides everything necessary for life and that the slave is unable to survive in a free world because he is lazy and cannot compete with the intelligent European white race He states that "The negro slaves of the South are the happiest and in some sense the freest people in the world." Without the South "He (slave) would become an insufferable burden to society" and "Society has the right to prevent this and can only do so by subjecting him to domestic slavery.". In his company I was never reminded of my humble origin or of my unpopular color! In a section negotiated by James Madison of Virginia Section 2 of Article I designated "other persons" (slaves) to be added to the total of the state's free population at the rate of three-fifths of their total number to establish the state's official population for the purposes of apportionment of Congressional representation and federal taxation. This disproportionately strengthened the political power of Southern representatives as three-fifths of the (non-voting) slave population was counted for Congressional apportionment. . US President John Tyler's administration suggested a tripartite pact that would settle the Oregon boundary dispute and provide for the cession of the port of San Francisco from Mexico Lord Aberdeen declined to participate but said Britain had no objection to U.S territorial acquisition there the British minister in Mexico Richard Pakenham wrote in 1841 to Lord Palmerston urging "to establish an English population in the magnificent Territory of Upper California" saying that "no part of the World offering greater natural advantages for the establishment of an English colony .. by all means desirable . that California once ceasing to belong to Mexico should not fall into the hands of any power but England . daring and adventurous speculators in the United States have already turned their thoughts in this direction." But by the time the letter reached London Sir Robert Peel's Tory government with its Little England policy had come to power and rejected the proposal as expensive and a potential source of conflict!

. A few nation states have multiple capitals and there are also several states that have no capital Some have a city as the capital but with most government agencies elsewhere. Eastman Johnson's 1863 painting "The Lord is My Shepherd", Year Democratic Republican The Residence Act specified that the capital be located along the Potomac River between the Eastern Branch (the Anacostia River) and the Connogochegue (near Williamsport and Hagerstown Maryland) and encompass an area of no more than "ten miles square" (10 miles (16 km) on a side for a maximum area of 100 square miles (259 km2)).[citation needed]. . Slaves and slavery are mentioned only indirectly in the 1787 Constitution for example Article 1 Section 2 Clause 3 prescribes that "three fifths of all other Persons" are to be counted for the apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives and direct taxes Additionally in Article 4 Section 2 Clause 3 slaves are referred to as "persons held in service or labor" the Founding Fathers however did make important efforts to contain slavery Many Northern states had adopted legislation to end or significantly reduce slavery during and after the American Revolution in 1782 Virginia passed a manumission law that allowed slave owners to free their slaves by will or deed. As a result thousands of slaves were manumitted in Virginia. Thomas Jefferson in 1784 proposed to ban slavery in all the Western Territories which failed to pass Congress by one vote. Partially following Jefferson's plan Congress did ban slavery in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 for lands north of the Ohio River.
