They passed a law to stop slave importing that took effect decades in the future, and hoped shit-for-brains conservatives would naturally phase out slavery and avoid a civil war.

Whoops. Turns out we had to kill a bunch of traitors to get rid of slavery.

We never got rid of slavery. People like to ignore the full text of the 13th amendment: "...except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted". States just started passing laws to invent new crimes to selectively enforce, and slavery lived on in the form of prison labor.

Can we do the same to get rid of racism?
