Note, the word Negro added for the first time in the Constitution.
Here is how the 'noble' Confederate Constitution reads,
No bill of attainder or ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed
Note, in the American Constitution, no mention is made of Negro or any slavery.
This was the 'error' that Stephens' said the Confederate Constitution would correct.
As for Lincoln, his goal was to end slavery peacefully, or as he stated, put slavery back on the road to extinction.
Your Confederate Constitution made it permanent.
Funny about that is, Lincoln proposed the same thing. Keeping slavery legal, but not expanding it!
No, slavery was already legal in the Southern states, Lincoln was intending on stopping it expansion.
Do you deny that or are you going to continue to lie to attempt to spread your guilt of slavery over the man whose goal was to end it?
Huh. What do ya know? They agreed with the North on something. AND vice versa.
No, not at all, the South saw slavery as a virtue and wrote it in the Constitution as such.
They even mention the very race to be enslaved.
Lincoln was elected to stop the growth of slavery.
Your attempts to make Lincoln into a Jeff Davis shows how immoral your Confederate philosophy really is.
"As for Lincoln, his goal was to end slavery peacefully, or as he stated, put slavery back on the road to extinction."
Well, he did a crappy job.
"Your Confederate Constitution made it permanent."
Whatever happend to all that talk about it being "Americans versus Americans"?
"Your"
Ptoi!
"No, slavery was already legal in the Southern states, Lincoln was intending on stopping it expansion."
You are failing to make sense here (again) re-read what you responded to on that.
Just taking a time-out for a minute here to say this:
You are a wonderful debator, and it is awesome talking these points in this manner.
Just please remember, it IS an American sitting on the other side of the screen. I try to do the same for you.
God Bless
