“You Rebs went to war to preserve it (constitutional slavery).”

That is an interesting comment.

If the South went to war to preserve constitutional slavery, who took up arms to violently overthrow constitutional slavery?

The Constitution , as first drafted in 1781 said nothing on the subject of slavery t the national level, leaving it to the individual states.

You Rebs enshrined it in The Confederate Constitution
Lincoln wanted to end slavery , and he did.

His utmost imperative was to preserve the Union. Your side LOST Reb and you just can't admit that.
