Learned about how slavery was so heavily discussed in the early drafts of the constitution, bill of rights, and even the declaration. The founders and others felt they didn't need a bill of rights (certainly Madison and Hamilton in their federalist papers thought they didn't) because they believed the structure of the constitution was enough. They specifically meant white men owning property when they said "all men."
