How about an import from Virginia to Alabama? At the time the confederate constitution as adopted, Virginia was still part of the U.S., the U.S. was considered by the confederacy to be a foreign country, and imports of slaves from there was specifically protected.
I read that to prohibit import from Africa; do you have any historical references to suggest otherwise, other than subtle nuances of timing over what state was part of which alliance at what time?
“the U.S. was considered by the confederacy to be a foreign country, and imports of slaves from there was specifically protected.”
Yea, Just a bunch of god loving, anti-slave Union people that gave life and limb to free the slaves.....I notice you never mention the drafts.
“Under the Union draft act men faced the possibility of conscription in July 1863 and in Mar., July, and Dec. 1864. Draft riots ensued, notably in New York in 1863. Of the 249,259 18-to-35-year-old men whose names were drawn, only about 6% served, the rest paying commutation or hiring a substitute.
The first Confederate conscription law also applied to men between 18 and 35, providing for substitution (repealed Dec. 1863) and exemptions. A revision, approved 27 Sept. 1862, raised the age to 45; 5 days later the legislators passed the expanded Exemption Act. The Conscription Act of Feb. 1864 called all men between 1 7 and 50. Conscripts accounted for one-fourth to one-third of the Confederate armies east of the Mississippi between Apr. 1864 and early 1865.”
Yes, the North, specifically NY, was all about morals and freeing slaves.....all 6% of them.
