The originally proposed 13th amendment was passed by Congress in March of 1861 and would have protected slavery in the States for all time.
Corwin Amendment.
Makes you wonder though, if the South was only seceding to protect slavery, yet Congress was falling all over itself to pass the Corwin Amendment and enshrine it as the original 13th amendment, to protect slavery and prevent the Southern states from leaving, then why did the South ignore it and keep seceding?
No one ever seems to ask that.
A truthful Southerner will admit that Slavery had a really large part in the Civil War. An honest one would. But it was by no means the only reason. Not by far.
Shits complicated.
