Ummm ...yes, answered repeatedly, but you can not accept the responses.

Ummm, No. The statement in question was '[p]lease post any proof that Confederate administration advocated the wholesale slaughter of Americans in disagreement with them.' You've posted one item about President Davis and General 'Spoons 'loon' Butler.

By whom, a pack of traitors in rebellion against their own government?

The Confederates were traitors to their own government? That would mean they were not confederates wouldn't it?

It's not bad enough slaves fighting to end Southern slavery in the United States Army or Navy were murdered by confederates...

Murdered? Please post your proof of murder. If said persons were killed while waging war on the Confederacy, they are casualties of war.

... but now you want a formal law ...

Yep, PROOF that the Confederate goverment ordered/legislated the murder of blacks. Under Butler 'the slaves have been restored to the plantations and there compelled to work under the bayonets of guards of U.S. soldiers', 'slaves too aged or infirm for work have in spite of their entreaties been forced from the homes provided by the owners and driven to wander helpless on the highway.'

You have claimed to be against slavery in the former Old South, so why are you not overjoyed with the defeat of the promoters of Slavery Inc?

Of course I'm glad slavery ended in the ENTIRE US. For the zillionth time, the war was not waged to end slavery (so said Lincoln and Congress), nor was it a war to continue slavery (such already being legal in the union).

"The Confederates were traitors to their own government?"

Naturally, when a grouping of Southern power brokers for Slavery Inc became totally frantic over losing the White House in the election of 1860's, and then conspire as a criminal enterprise to break away from the rest of the United States, invented a so-called 'government', appointed their own version of a 'president' & cabinet plus schemed coordinated sneak attacks directed at Federal military forts & naval vessels, for the sole purpose of continuing & expanding the totalitarian Slavocracy. I would term those rebellious sore losers as lawlessness traitors provoking bloody insurgency.

The White House of 1861 was confronted with a domestic terrorist outbreak such as this nation has never witnessed.

Any Southern elected official responsible for instigating the Insurrection should have never had the right to hold public office nor his privilege to vote restored. Rewarding via restoring citizenship rights, and or ignoring shameless acts of armed sedition against one's own country should have never been allowed or tolerated if this nation after the Civil War.

Unfortunately you, Stand & the rest of the minuscule minority of bitter malcontents are prime examples of unreconstructed & unrepentant apologists for the pro-slavery Confederate mindset, perpetually & brazenly promoting a deliberately distorted view of pre & post Civil War history all the way up the final nail in the coffin of the Old South during the early and mid-1960's.

The neo-confederate line is anti-American & racist against fellow Americans and will be exposed whenever the barrage of propaganda & out right lies are peddled.

If the same seditious stunt we attempted today as in 1861, you know precisely what course of action the White House & Congress would take in the form of being swift justice for anyone involved in such seditiousness.

"Of course I'm glad slavery ended in the ENTIRE US."

Your statement is contradiction. If the tyrannical Confederate leadership had somehow gained a victory over U.S. forces, including installing the Davis dictatorship in the White House, 'Yankee' show trails for all members of the Lincoln Administration along other leading Union & abolitionists spokesmen, caught behind Rebel lines or captured by.

All former slaves & freemen who had served honourably in the Union armed forces would be ruthlessly hunted down by bands of 'slave catchers', returned to a state of slavery in addition slaves known to have would be made examples of in using the most brutal methods in order to instill absolute fear in the greater slave populations to prevent 'slave uprising' throughout Cotton Inc, border & free states under Confederate occupation and repression.

The broad-based rampage of marauding bands of Confederate raiders would most likely extend all along border states if not well into Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, sections of Pennsylvania and portions of southern & coastal New Jersey, obviously contingent on how thoroughly vengeful Confederate occupation forces were capable of quelling the various populations of formerly free Americans.

However, freedom loving citizens of Northern states not directly scourged by Confederate wrath, nor subdued, would rally with remaining portions of the Federal troops countering the invading hordes of frenzied rednecks, eventually defeating the treasonous enemy within, pushing them back into the swamps of the South.
