You didn’t answer my question. If the war wasn't about slavery, in your view, would the South have ended or continued it? And why did the Confederacy enshrine slavery in it's Constitution?

Would the north have ended slavery without a war-torn, disenfranchised and subjected south under military occupation to artificially vote to ratify the 13th? If you believe so, why didn't it? The war didn't end slavery in the north.

If a Constitutional Amendment was required in order to end slavery, then why do you believe that only the southern, Confederate constitution "enshrined" slavery?

It seems to me that you need to turn a critical eye upon your own beliefs, because they do not withstand even cursory scrutiny.

Oh but I did answer your question. It would have ended in the Southern states before too much longer just like it ended everywhere else in the Western world before too much longer. Why did the Confederacy enshrine slavery in its Constitution just like Lincoln and the North offered to do with the US Constitution? Explicitly I mean since we all know the US Constitution had a fugitive slave clause and the 3/5s compromise. I dunno. Chits and giggles perhaps.
