I am merely asking, if the South were to "rise again", would you condone slavery?

As I do not equate the South rising again WITH slavery, nor have I ever condoned slavery, you pose your 'simple' question in an unanswerable manner.

It's like asking someone "When did you stop beating your spouse?".

Answer ME this simple question.

Is the Constitution a 'living document', or not?

Personally, I don't see the problem with my question.

If I lived in the South, and the South were to "rise again", that is to say, become the Confederate States of America, I would certainly be against slavery being a part of that new nation.

That's what I was getting at. You seem to have a difficult time answering the original question. But, I will take it from your last answer, that under the above circumstances, that you would also be against slavery. Please correct me if I got that wrong.

As to your question, "Is the Constitution a 'living document', or not?"

I say, "no" because those who use the terminology that it is a "living" document, are too often the people trying to corrupt its original intent.
