The only constant is change. Verily, change is inevitable--unless, of course, you are dealing with a vending machine.
The Confederacy refused to countenance any limitation on the growth of slavery--that is why they seceded. They would look at you and say "you're no Confederate." Slavery was a bedrock value for the Southron elites. They'd look quite askance at the defenders of the Confederacy here on FR for not defending slavery and for attacking slavery in the Union.
Actually you are wrong. The Confederate Constitution banned the importation of slaves. And the south was forced to buy products manufactured in the north or pay crippling tarrifs to import goods of better quality from Europe, which was the basis for secession, an issue that was a source of contention between North and South some 40 years prior to secession.
I am glad to see however, that we do agree on the vending machines! :-)
