You might go back and look at how slavery made its way into the Constitution in the first place. It was a compromise

Sure it was. But my question pertains to it being in there per se. It has been said that "Any nation that had slavery incorporated into its founding constitution was in no way correct." Slavery is indisputably contained in the US Constitution. Does that make the US Constitution "in no way correct"?

B.S.! Your comparision is false on its face.

Just where is slavery mentioned? Show me. No nods and winks, I mean the incorporation of slavery as a practice enumerated in the U.S. Constitution.

Show me! I'm waiting.

William Lloyd Garrison thought so. He was ready to burn that sumbuck.

Maybe it would be better to say that a government can be "in no way correct" if it has slavery as its cornerstone, as the so-called CSA did?
