Line 22:
**** That applied to the congress, the state governments could still legally outlaw slavery.
***** Except they couldn't do so de-facto. They could only do so in a meaningless way. If any Southerner moved into the state and said he was "in transit" he had all his "rights" to his slaves uninfringed. The Dredd Scott Decision (Which certainly would have been cited) said that you could keep a slave in a free state FOR YEARS and he was still a slave.
****** That still means slavery could have and probably would have eventually been abolished. There are things between "Immediately end slavery completely" and "Never end slavery ever". Just ask the African countries where slavery is still technically legal.
** And what, other than a racial caste system, would a mostly agricultural, anti-federalist, fundamentalist Christian society like the CSA have in common with a mostly industrial, hyper-statist, neo-pagan society like Nazi Germany?
*** The paranoia of the constantly threatened sovereignty of a nation-state with an inferior economic and industrial base... like Germany after WWI.
