We weren't founded under slavery actually. When the meeting in the convention happened for the Constitution, slavery was a goal that the north was looking to abolish. They was many things in place to be accepted to get rid of slavery, for example, 20 years to stop slavery so you can get your economic things in order.

So if you mean that the U.S. was founded under the idea of abolishing slavery, you are correct.
