Duress is what happened when southern soldiers were conscripted under color of authority to force them into treason in support of slavery.

Duress is when Lee put snipers behind his men to shoot them dead if they retreated.

Duress is when Beauregard fired on Major Anderson at Sumter to force a US officer performing his duty to surrender and evacuate his post.

Duress is when Lee put up whipping posts for the slaves at Arlington, and paid a man to whip a teenage girl, shouting ‘Lay it on!”
