How did the U.S. constitution cause seperation?

            When the forefathers created the Constitution, they wanted it to unify all of the people that lived in the country. Although they created the Constitution with these noble reasons, the Constitution did not do what it was meant to do. This can be clearly seen during the time of the Civil War. The separation that the Constitution caused can be seen through the issue of slavery. The issue of slavery in the Constitution can be seen through political, domestic, and moral standpoints.
             In many political areas slavery was a big issue. In the Constitution slavery was not ever directly said to be wrong or right. This was done so that the South would ratify the Constitution without any problems. The document that has the excerpt from "Plain Words for the North" tells of how the creators of the Constitution were wise in not directly saying anything about the slavery issue. Ralph Waldo Emerson's address on the Fugitive Slave Law shows how there were many people that did not like the things that the Constitution allowed like the Fugitive Slave Law. "The United States Constitution" by William Lloyd Garrison shows more vehemence about the lack of the mentioning of slavery in the Constitution. Along with political problems there were domestic issues.
             The Constitution caused many problems with the internal affairs of the Union. The document with the map of the U.S. shows how slavery divided up the country and its people. Pres. James Buchanan's fourth annual message to Congress tells of the threat to domestic security that parts of the Constitution caused. Many people thought that the fact that the Constitution said nothing about slavery as an immoral avoidance of an issue. There were many problems with the internal structure of the country due to the strife caused by the issue of slavery. Families were broken up as well as separated due to the very unfair Fugitive Slave Law. The Constitution caused problems orally as well as domestically.
