The same South Carolinians who during the Constitutional Convention would defend the right of southern states to import enslaved Africans – John Rutledge, Charles Pinckney, and Pierce Butler – had voted earlier that year in the legislature of their state for a three-year prohibition of the traffic. The suspension of the trade to South Carolina had been part of an act regulating the payment of debts in the state, but when the issue reemerged in 1792, South Carolina authorities were quick to renew the ban because of anxieties brought by the events in Saint Domingue.
