Both the CSA and the USA had pro-slavery constitutions.

Both the CSA and USA had presidents who swore oaths to protect and defend their nation's pro-slavery constitutions.

In fact the USA president swore the oath twice.

In this context, it is important to remember the Confederate states were defeated by the most powerful slave-owning nation on earth.

And how many times did Jefferson Davis take the Oath of Office of loyalty to the USA?
My count is: six times, at least.

Of course, if you're a Southern Democrat, such oaths only mean what they mean when they mean it, right?
