How exactly can you serve with honor if you are a slave? I can understand free slaves at the time serving with honor but not slaves. They are little more then property with no choice in the matter. Its like thinking that a slave can have consent to her masters sexual desires. If you do not have freedom for yourself you cannot have consent.

You are suggesting that those who are forced to pay taxes are without honour as well?

"I think there are some things we have done in the past that should die _ and this should die. I'm talking about the whole idea of the Confederacy."

I think there are some things going on in the present that should die.
