I am not Pro-Slavery. If you assume that Lincoln and the 'Union' were correct, then the Confederate States had no right to seperate from the United States of America. If that is the case, then they are still States. If they are still States, they would have to ratify any Ammendment passed in order for it to become Law. They didn't. So, you can make a descent arguement for the Ammendments being invalid. (The 13th was ratified in December of 1865 I believe.) As for the Interstate Commerce Clause, that is the Justification good ol' Abe used to free those Slaves in the Confederate states (Deleware, Maryland, and Kentucky were still allowed to have Slavery ... see, because they were loyal States)with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, before any Ammendment was ratified regarding the issue. It's an interesting arguement, and you are both right ... each to a degree. -Abject. It is sad, but with today’s political/social climate, I have to put

Lincoln used the clause to free the slaves (among other things) - beacuse they were traded across state lines.
