<p>Slavery</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Slavery in the [[Confederate States of America]]&#039;&#039;&#039; was enshrined in its [[Constitution of the Confederate States of America|constitution]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> === Slave raids ===<br /> The [[Treaty of Havana]] stipulated that Confederates would be prohibited from kidnapping freedmen and Unionists would be prohibited from helping slaves escape (targeting the [[Underground Railroad]]) and be obligated to return escaped slaves. The treaty&#039;s wording was vague and both sides continued to conduct their activities in secret. The [[Republican Party]] did not waste the opportunity to label the Confederacy as the &quot;New Barbary&quot; led by colorful and abominable figures as [[Nathan Bedford Forrest]] and [[Cal Lamar]]. The [[Democratic Party]], which was more segregationist, did not publicly oppose the slave raids and some members even admitted to supporting them. There were also a number of covert, poorly documented slave raids in Caribbean nations, notably [[Haiti]].<br /> <br /> The situation worsened after the [[Christie Affair]] in [[Brazil]]. Though the affair itself had nothing to do with slavery, that it brought the [[United Kingdom]] to the brink of war with Brazil forced the former to lessen the enforcement of the [[Aberdeen Act]] in order to ease tensions.</div>
