??????????? had absolutely nothing to do with slavery !!!!!
" The Constitutional Convention of 1787 considered several methods of electing the President, including selection by Congress, by the governors of the states, by the state legislatures, by a special group of Members of Congress chosen by lot, and by direct popular election . Late in the convention, the matter was referred to the Committee of Eleven on Postponed Matters, which devised the electoral college system in its original form. This plan, which met with widespread approval by the delegates, was incorporated into the final document with only minor changes . It sought to reconcile differing state and federal interests, provide a degree of popular participation in the election, give the less populous states some additional leverage in the process by providing “senatorial” electors, preserve the presidency as independent of Congress, and generally insulate the election process from political manipulation."
It was official by 1804
Do you know how many states had slavery in 1787????? eh????? Didn't you know that Congress had the authority to ban slavery by 1800....it then extended such to1808....yes this was the same date as the discussion of the electoral college in 1787.
Anyone that uses the topic of slavery to diminish the electoral college has absolutely no fn' idea of history be it truth! You are misinformed.
