Not certain where he stands on the confederate constitution, but his statement against slavery which you quoted should provide a clue. His paper was on why Lincoln set aside the federal constitution (costing the lives of 600,000 American) and not incorporating the slavery issue until two years after the war started.
As does he coming out solidly behind a government founded expressly to protect slavery. One kind of offsets the other, don't you think?

It's more the fact that he roasts Lincoln while completely ignoring actions as bad or worse on the part of the Southern leadership that identifies him as the hypocrite he is. It's hard to take anyone seriously when their bias is showing as badly as his is.
