has abstract	Although the United States constitution did not mention the words "slave" or "slavery", it explicitly protected American slavery in at least five articles and indirectly protected the institution elsewhere in the document. At the time of the drafting of the constitution, slavery was banned by the states in New England and Pennsylvania, and by the Congress of the Confederation in the Northwest Territory, by the Northwest Ordinance. Though slaves were present in other states, most were forced to work in agriculture in the South. According to H.W. Brands, because of the declining productivity of crops like tobacco due to soil exhaustion, many of the drafters of the constitution assumed that slavery would naturally die out in the South as it had done in industrialized North. This changed after the adoption of the constitution, with the invention of the modern cotton gin in 1793, which provided a more sustainable and economically viable crop for Southern plantations. (en)
