Any particular tidbits from there that are relevant to your argument?
On March 21, 1861, Stephens gave his famous
Cornerstone Speech in
Savannah, Georgia. In it he declared that slavery was the natural condition of blacks and the foundation of the Confederacy. He declared that relative to the U.S. Constitution, "Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition."

Thank you for that! So the next time some ****** leftist says that the Founding Fathers were for slavery, I can counter with this.
"
The prevailing ideas entertained by him and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old Constitution were, that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with; but the general opinion of the men of that day was, that, somehow or other, in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent and pass away... Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong."
Next time you ***** call Thomas Jefferson a racist, remember this.
Btw, The VP of the CSA is not the president, 'sup? Nothing from Jefferson Davis? That seems rather peculiar to me. No remarks from Jefferson Davis about slavery? Why the **** do you ***** have to go to the VP, Hmm?
