Are there any middle relievers in your bullpen?So? The farmers still fought for their Constitution which enshrined slavery.
They fought for their constitution. You said so yourself...Are there any middle relievers in your bullpen?
Because your starting pitching is in trouble
Confederate soldiers fought for their family, neighbors and their state
Slavery was not an issue for them
Don't we fight in wars to defend our Constitution?
We do
The confederates fought for the Constitution in numerous wars
And so did the union soldiers when slavery was still legalThey fought for their constitution. You said so yourself...
False. The U.S. Constitution did not enshrine slavery. It neither protected nor endorsed slavery. So no, Union soldiers did not fight for slavery.And so did the union soldiers when slavery was still legal
Slavery was legal under the ConstitutionFalse. The U.S. Constitution did not enshrine slavery. It neither protected nor endorsed slavery. So no, Union soldiers did not fight for slavery.
But the Constitution didn't enshrine, protect or endorse it. As a result, there were stares in the north which banned it. Something prohibited by the Confederacy's constitution, which made slavery permanent and prohibited states from banning it. So while I note your desperation, Union soldiers were not fighting for slavery. Confederate soldiers were.Slavery was legal under the Constitution
You are wasting my time by playing a weak game of GotchaBut the Constitution didn't enshrine, protect or endorse it. As a result, there were stares in the north which banned it.

It's not a gotcha game. They were fighting to preserve slavery. For some reason, you're hell bent on denying that.You are wasting my time by playing a weak game of Gotcha
The Confederate soldiers were brave and honorable men and trying to demonize them 150 years late shows desperation on your part

They were fights for independence from the northThey were fighting to preserve slavery.
To preserve slavery.They were fights for independence from the north
For independenceTo preserve slavery.
But only one side enshrined slavery in their Constitution. Confederate soldiers fought for that.For independence
Slave states were represented on both sides
I see you never heard of the 3/5ths compromise which was part of the US Constitution during the Civil WarBut only one side enshrined slavery in their Constitution. Confederate soldiers fought for that.
That was in terms of apportioning seats in Congress, it didn't endorse or protect slavery as states were free to ban slavery if they wanted to; and some did.I see you never heard of the 3/5ths compromise which was part of the US Constitution during the Civil War

Of course the constitution recognized and allowed slaveryThat was in terms of apportioning seats in Congress, it didn't endorse or protect slavery as states were free to ban slavery if they wanted to; and some did.
I didn't say it didn't. It allowed the states to decide for themselves and northern state were banning it. That's what Union soldiers fought for.Of course the constitution recognized and allowed slavery
Not all states that remained in the union and fought on the union side banned slaveryI didn't say it didn't. It allowed the states to decide for themselves and northern state were banning it. That's what Union soldiers fought for.
So? The U.S. Constitution still didn't institutionalize slavery. The Confederacy's Constitution did. Slavery in the north was vanishing and fighting with the south over that issue. So the south seceded to keep their slaves. That's what Confederate soldiers fought for. And they're heroes to you. How sad.Not all states that remained in the union and fought on the union side banned slavery
