FEW if anyone in the CSA's military OR the civilian population knew/cared what a FEW landed aristocrats thought or wrote, just as almost NOBODY reads political platforms of ANY political party. sorry, what was printed in any of the ordinances of sucession is of little historical import. what was approved by the conventions could have been "mary had a little lamb" and it would have meant exactly the same thing = we southrons wanted OUT from under the heel of the damnyankee boot.

They must've, because that's what the war was about, keeping slavery.

Would you say the same about the Declaration of Independence?

Well, it was rebellion no matter what. That'll teach you to renege on contracts.
