Once again I am reduced to explaining the simplest things.
“The confederate government had no problems with levying slave labor without compensation ‘for the war effort’.”
Big difference between borrowing and giving away.
“They had no problem taking property that didn’t belong to them by placing quotas on agricultural produce or reserving cargo space on private packet ships, again ‘for the war effort’.”
Hmmmm. . . similar tactics used by the U.S. during WWI, WWII, etc. Suppose the U.S. government was wrong there.
“That, apparently, isn’t exceeding their powers. Or if it was they didn’t care.” Same as above.
“But you would have us believe they had constitutional qualms about freeing slaves that fought for them against the Union?”
I just follow the facts and logic. You believe whatever you want.
You can try.

It wasn't borrowed. It was labor required to be produced on demand. Without compensation to the owner
Hmmmm. . . similar tactics used by the U.S. during WWI, WWII, etc. Suppose the U.S. government was wrong there.
Hmmmm. Hardly. The difference was that the produce was paid for and the private ship owners were compensated for carrying the cargo during WWII. The confederacy demanded the space without compensation and took the crops.

As will you.
BTW, glad to see you’re still smiling.
