You are incapable of posting without using strawmen. You like putting words in someone's mouth and then knocking it down. No, it didn't end in 1808 or die of attrition as intended because the south continued to illegally import slaves. Had the law been followed slavery would have imploded economically as the founders wanted.

I have answered your question two times now. Maybe I should have put it in bold.
