“Can you show me where it (slavery) was mentioned then?”

So then you can't show me where slavery is mentioned in the U.S. Constitution?

Miss Dawg, you say slavery is never mentioned in the United States Constitution. What then, was Abraham Lincoln talking about?

Slavery may be implied in several clauses of the Constitution but the original claim on the part of FLT_bird was that the U.S. Constition and the Confederate Constitution were virtual carbon copies. I pointed out that one of the many differences was the fact that slavery was not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution even once while it is specifically mentioned 10 times in the Confederate Constitution. So unless you have evidence to the contrary then what are you trying to prove with all this?

“Slavery may be implied in several clauses of the Constitution . . .”

May be?

You are a history student but you are not sure if slavery is implied in the United States Constitution? Previously you have gone on record as flatly stating: Slavery is not mentioned AT ALL in the U. S. Constitution.” (emphasis added)

I appreciate your knee-jerk reaction to historical comments of slave owners George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and others from the original 13 slave states - but why are you repudiating the words of Union President Abraham Lincoln?

First, I did not intend for you to paint yourself into a corner and embarrass yourself. That just happened.

Second, you raise a valid point: there probably is no real harm in your denials and personal musings.

I just have a gnawing concern that some person, perhaps after a confusing trip to Disney World, will read one of your posts and take it seriously.

““The View” host Joy Behar challenged former Vice President Mike Pence’s views on same sex marriage by saying that she didn't think homosexuality was even mentioned in the Bible.”

No known connection to what we have discussed.
