You've lost your damned mind. Any nation that had slavery incorporated into its founding constitution was in no way correct.

Then do you favor the repeal of the United States Constitution?

You might go back and look at how slavery made its way into the Constitution in the first place. It was a compromise, offered to persuade the slave-holding states to ratify. IIRC, the northern states assumed that slavery was on its last legs anyway, so that the compromise would not have long-lasting effects. It was a poor assumption for which hundreds of thousands later died to rectify.

That's a stupid question.

By comparison, show me specifically where slavery is incorporated in the U.S. Constitution as a practice. I mean show me exactly where it is mentioned.

Then CSA constitution specifically incorporates slavery by name and with no equivocations. Even the max price!

No mercy.
