[QUOTE="rhart, post: 3841975, member: 16596"] Having seceded, the South turned down every offer made by Lincoln to return to the Union and keep slavery. The most significant was the [B]Corwin Amendment [/B]which would have placed slavery beyond the amendment process making it [B]forever permanent[/B] as long as Southern States desired. All the South need do is return to the Union and it had the votes to easily ratify. Corwin had already passed both houses of a Republican controlled congress by super-majorities. And it had already been [B]ratified [/B]by five Northern States. All the South need do was return to the Union and slavery was protected by what would have been one of only two amendments in the Constitution that could never be removed! The South seceded anyway because [B]preserving slavery was not its cause. [/B]Hmmm, seems the North was just as 'evil' as the South... [/QUOTE]
