ARP354 Ratification Spring

In the spring of 1788, New Orleans was destroyed by fire. Maryland, South Carolina and New Hampshire ratify the Constitution. Maryland supports it overwhelmingly and without amendments after hearing that George Washington strongly supported that. South Carolina opponents object that the Constitution does not protect slavery. New Hampshire opponents object that the Constitution does not end slavery.
