“In other words, permanent slavery in the United States.”
Not the case. The amendment does not in any way limit a state from outlawing slavery within that state.
Absolutely correct Bull Snipe !
The site is positively infested with democrats today.
But if it exists in any state, it is still slavery in the United States. One state abolishing it isn't enough. If the Corwin amendment passed, every state would have to voluntarily abolish it.
Till then, it remained in the United States.
