Talk:Confederate States of America (Rise of the South)

Why on Earth would the CSA even want to conquer the North (leaving aside for the moment how it could be possible even if they wnated)? They wanted to be a separate nation, with only the slave states. Annexing the north would be tantamount to returning to the US, given the similarities in the two nations' constitutions -- Nik 03:40, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

The Confederacy abolished the practice of slavery by act of Congress in 1900, although the practice had been in rapid decline since the end of the Civil War.

This would be clearly unconstitutional. An amendment could be passed to the Confederate constitution, but an act of Congress could not affect slavery -- Nik 03:40, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)
