    I would just like to quickly point out you said it was built on the idea that all are created equal

    The Constitution was written in 1787, put in effect in 1789

    The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves was signed in 1807, and the 13th Amendment in 1865

    Women gained the right to vote nationally in 1920

    Just because they said all people are equal, does not mean they actually thought all people are equal.
