White supremacists and counter protesters clash in Charlottesville

[Rev. Rye]

Constitution of the Confederate States, Article 1, Section 9, Paragraph 4: "No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed."

Article 4, Section 2, Paragraph 1: "The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States; and shall have the right of transit and sojourn in any State of this Confederacy, with their slaves and other property; and the right of property in said slaves shall not be thereby impaired. "

Article 4, Section 3, Paragraph 3: "The Confederate States may acquire new territory; and Congress shall have power to legislate and provide governments for the inhabitants of all territory belonging to the Confederate States, lying without the limits of the several Sates; and may permit them, at such times, and in such manner as it may by law provide, to form States to be admitted into the Confederacy. In all such territory the institution of negro slavery, as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected be Congress and by the Territorial government; and the inhabitants of the several Confederate States and Territories shall have the right to take to such Territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any of the States or Territories of the Confederate States."

Turns out, this was remarkably easy, since, unlike the US Constitution, they actually used the term "slave" and not "Person[s] held to Service or Labor." The Confederate Government did not mince words on this issue, and they made sure not to do so multiple times throughout their constitution. At least copy-paste is a lot easier on my laptop than whatever phone you're using.

You're welcome, Thumpy.
