I sometimes find myself getting into discussions about the US Civil War. Typically, someone will insist the war was about states rights, and not about slavery, as the historians would have you believe. I generally consider this bullshit, or at best, “spin”.

So I found this Comparison of the USA and CSA constitutions interesting. Basically, aside from one or two trade related changes, the major changes are about slavery.

Now of course, there is a heck of a lot more to the matter than just the constitution, but interesting none the less.
