NS...Your pontifications can hardly be called the truth.
Just because you put a horse-harness on a mule, it doesn't make it a horse! Like this constitution we have been arguing about. Any credible scholar North or South KNOWS very well that the importation of African Slaves was forbidden by the Confederate Constitution. You saying different doesn't make it so. Your warped hypotheses are not TRUTH.
My God, can you not read? Article 1, section 9, clause 1: "The importation of negroes of the African race from any foreign country other than the slaveholding States or Territories of the United States of America, is hereby forbidden; and Congress is required to pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the same."
What part is so hard to understand? The confederacy believed the U.S. to be a foreign country. The confederacy specifically said that importing slaves from that country was legal, said so right in their constitution. How can you sit there with a straight face and say that it was forbidden? It's there in black and white.
The fact that the next clause gave the confederate congress the power to end those imports does not mean that the imports were forbidden, any more than you can say that slave imports were forbidden by the U.S. Constitution because of Article I, Section 9, Clause 1. Imports were at the mercy of Congress, and could be permitted at any time.
So tell me what's warped there? What's incorrect? Where am I lying? I suggest that it's you who is living in a fantasy world where this issue is concerned.
