and yet the confederate constitution immediately legalizes slavery. There was not a wait for decades for it to be included.

The British issued two emancipation proclamations during our Revolutionary War.

Dunmore’s Proclamation of 1775 and the Philipsburg Proclamation of 1779.

Had the British successfully defeated the Colonials slavery in America would have ended 90 years sooner.

So RginTn, let’s hear your explanation of which side should have won the Revolution.

The Brits and emancipation in 1779, or the Americans with slavery running for another 90 years?

Which is your choice?

Your reply is nonsensical, slavery was legal under the existing US Constitution. A slave was a slave wherever he resided per the Dred Scott decision.
