What was Gouvernour Morris's outlook on slave trade?

Question

just need to know what he would feel about slave trade.
thank you!

Answer 1

He opposed constitutional protection for slavery or the slave trade and disliked the Constitution's provision permitting new states to be admitted to the Union on an equal footing with the original thirteen. As a member of the convention's Committee on Style and Arrangement, he prepared the final draft of the Constitution.

Answer 2

Perhaps the following remarks of his from the Constitutional Convention (via Madison's notes) will give you an idea of his viewpoint:

"'The admissions of slaves into the representation formula, when fairly explained, comes to this: that the inhabitant of Georgia and South Carolina who goes to the coast of Africa and in defiance of the most sacred laws of humanity tears away his fellow creatures from their dearest connections and damns him to the most cruel bondages, such people shall have more votes in a government instituted for the protection of the rights of mankind than the citizens of Pennsylvania and New Jersey who view with a laudable horror so nefarious a practice.'"
