I came to your link via the NYTimes Disunion. I like the way you wrote the last paragraph. To me, it sounds like the new confederacy were politically savvy children, knowing that their actions regarding African slavery were wrong, yet trying to maximize their chances of successfully maintaining this institution by not creating trouble with Great Britain. I’m still amazed that so many people would go and fight for such a cuase; but those were different times.
