They even were willing to give up slavery (toward's the end) to keep Independence.

Make me laugh. That simply never happened. Even when the confederacy passed a resolution, by a razor-thin margin, a couple of weeks before surrender to recruit black soldiers, they included a clause that "nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize a change in the relation which the said slaves shall bear toward their owners, except by consent of the owners."

I'm not even going to dispute you on this. What I am going to do is point out that you chose to rebut the most trivial aspect of everything I said, and ignore the tough parts.

Go for the low hanging fruit, do you?
