Which caused fear in the states of the CSA and there was talk of breaking away from the CSA if the Central Goverment became to strong. The problem with a new CSA constitution is that the Civil War became about through State Power vs. Federal Power. The states that comprised the CSA were pro-State Power as opposed to Federal Power. Thus trying to take away State Power would probably result in a civil war in the CSA if handled incorrectly.
I am very well aware of that - in fact I should show you may shelves of books upon the Confederacy. However, in regards to abolishing slavery it has been mentioned that the individual states could abolish slavery and should enough states wish to call for a new constitutional convention and strike slavery from the new constitution they pretty much can.
