The Confederate did not even pretend to follow their own constitution. For example, Jefferson Davis never appointed a federal judicary, so that there could be no opposition to his attempting to rule by decree. Also, by CSA policy, any complaint by any state government, on any topic, was to be adjudicated by the CSA War Department.

There is not a nickel's worth of difference in how Washington, Madison, Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln viewed the nature of the Constitution and the nature of the Union.

A yes - the end of the freedom to enslave other human beings and to sell them like chattels. Followed a century later by a monstrous Federal effort to end the freedom to deprive the descendants of those wrongly emancipated subhumans of political and economic rights. Will the injustices never stop?
