Slave trade became an important issue during the Constitutional Convention. Southern slaveholders did not want the Congress to take the power over slave trade while controlling foreign affairs. So they only let the Congress have power over trade, excluding slave trade, for next twenty years.

∙ 12y agothey voted to wait 20 years before dealing with the issue, but they didnt deal with it for much longer than that
EDIT: they said that the south would receive its slaves back if they were caught in the north, but that the govt owned the slave trade. the govt would stop the slave trade in 20 years. that was the agreement
