[Non-Sequitur]

You imply that Williams is wrong in writing in his article that slaves willingly served in the Confederate army.

If they were slaves how much choice did they really have?

The Confederate Constitution forbid the importation of more slaves...

You may want to read it again.

I said, “The Confederate Constitution forbid the importation of more slaves...”

Non-Sequitur said, “You may want to read it again.”

Ok, I did -

Article I, Section 9, clauses 1 and 2

Section 9. (I) The importation of negroes of the African race from any foreign country other than the slaveholding States or Territories of the United States of America, is hereby forbidden; and Congress is required to pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the same.

(2) Congress shall also have power to prohibit the introduction of slaves from any State not a member of, or Territory not belonging to, this Confederacy.
