Not including the amendments how does the constitution deal with the issue of slavery?
Found this: "Originally, the Framers were very careful about avoiding the words "slave" and "slavery" in the text of the Constitution. Instead, they used phrases like "importation of Persons" at Article 1, Section 9 for the slave trade, and "other persons" at Article 1, Section 2 for slaves. Not until the 13th Amendment was slavery mentioned specifically in the Constitution. There the term was used to ensure that there was to be no ambiguity as what exactly the words were eliminating. In the 14th Amendment, the euphemism "other persons" (and the three-fifths value given a slave) was eliminated. The Slavery Topic Page has a lot more detail."

How did the compromise of 1850 contribute to the beginning of the civil war?
It was an untidy deal that satisfied no-one, and ended up raising the tensions. In exchange for allowing California to be admitted as a free state, the South had to be appeased by the creation of a couple more slave-states, and a promise that runaway slaves in the North would be hunted down and returned to their Southern owners. The Abolitonists, increasingly powerful in Congress, were outraged by this extension of slavery. And slaves on the run began to acquire a mythology, fanned by the publication of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'.

Did people get rich off slaves?
Rich people owned slaves. But the question is "Did people get rich off slaves?" Can you think of any nation that has slavery that isn't poor? If owning slaves make a nation rich, then the slave owning nations of the world today should be the richest nations but instead they are the poorest. Answer "did some people get rich off slaves". Slavery came in many forms, and even today, there are still many forms of slavery (i.e., women sex slaves, children sex slaves, indentured slaves, etc.). If the question is asking if slave owners got rich off of African slaves", the answer is clearly a resounding yes. Slaveholders used the slaves to farm the land, cook, clean, etc.; such slaveholders sold the "fruit" of the land and received quite a bit of money for it. The slaves, by definition, did not get any of the money from their labor. The upkeep of the slaves was very minimal, particularly in comparison to the profit obtained from their labor. There were also a tremendous financial benefit from selling slaves. Then there were the actual slave traders - who found a great deal of profit in selling human beings. Some would say America is so great, i.e., rich because of profits received from and the hard-work of the African American slave (e.g., railroads, a thriving agricultural supplier, other areas of industry, etc.. The simple answer is yes.
