as the new government turned to its citizens to support and defend the bid for national independence, it faced the necessity of building support among those whose consent for war had never been secured. and then began a relentless process in which government officials and military men all the way up the chain of command, scrambled to execute policies, designed to build a state and wage war, while preserving slavery and feeding and protecting a civilian population increasingly that denied the support of their men. in mobilizing for the war, the confederacy faced a number of political challenges, particularly to slave regimes. chief among them was the way the institution of slavery limited the power of the federal government and compromised its sovereignty. as jefferson davis once said, slavery was a form of government for those not fit to govern themselves. excuse me. slavery was the slave state. their masters the authority to which they owed allegiance. but what that meant in practice was that, slaves had no standing in relationship to the state, in relationship to the state, owed the
