The Slavemaster felt that under the 5th Amendment he had the law of the land on his side to carry on the Slave trade.
The 5th Amendment States, no person shall be deprived of his property, without due process of the law nor shall private property be taken away from him without just compensation.
Since Slaves were considered property Slavery was protected under the U.S Constitution.
As I have said throughout this Blog the Black Slave had no rights that no white Man was bound to honer.
