What where the problems created by the abolition of slave trade?
The abolition of the slave trade contributed to economic disruptions in regions dependent on slavery.

How did slave owners view their slaves?
Many slave owners viewed their slaves as property rather than individuals, believing they had the right to control and exploit them for their own benefit.

This perspective justified the mistreatment and oppression of slaves in the institution of slavery.
Was it us policy to kill smart slaves?
No. There was never a US Government policy to kill smart slaves.There is, however, no doubt that many slave owners believed "a literate slave was a dangerous slave" and would stifle attempts to educate slaves, through litigation and/or intimidation.Starting in the mid 1700's, several states passed laws prohibiting slave education.While these laws typically did not clarify any consequences for the slaves who might attain literacy, the financial consequences for teachers were clear.See Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass an American Slave, written by Frederick Douglass, for further information.
What did William Richardson Davie think about slave trade?
Many of us could probably agree that it would be hard to read the mind of a man who has been dead for over one-hundred years. Davie was a republican who strongly believed in the ratification of the Constitution and the necessity of a strong government. Note: strong does not mean tyrannical, only that it would have the power to accomplish things. In knowing that he believed in these things I would say it would be safe too assume he did not agree with slave trade. I believe that in Davie's eyes slave trade would only hold the country back from focussing on more important matters such as westward expansion.
