You are quite wrong in stating that the Confederate Constitution protected slave imports. It actually banned them from all foreign countries except the United States and its territories. See Section 9 of the Confederate Constitution.
And, to paraphrase Jefferson, a little rebellion now and then is a good thing. Heaven knows we could use some rebellion against the socialist policies imposed upon us by the representatives and senators elected by the blue states.
Breezed right on by that 'except', didn't you? If it banned slave imports from any country 'except' the United States then that must mean that it protected slave imports from the United States, right? And therefore protected slave imports. And let's face it, anyone who believes that an independent confederacy would have strictly enforced the Anti-Slave Trade treaties is only kidding themselves.
And, to paraphrase Jefferson, a little rebellion now and then is a good thing. Heaven knows we could use some rebellion against the socialist policies imposed upon us by the representatives and senators elected by the blue states.
Knock yourself out. Just make sure you win this time.
Some ban. "We'll only import them from our immediate neighbor."
Heaven knows we could use some rebellion against the socialist policies imposed upon us by the representatives and senators elected by the blue states.
Then go for it. No one denies your natural right of rebellion or that of the south. Just don't claim that it's constitutional or bitch when it doesn't go your way.
