Bet she never read the Constitution, Confederate or otherwise:

https://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_csa.asp

"In all such territory the institution of negro slavery, as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected be Congress and by the Territorial government; and the inhabitants of the several Confederate States and Territories shall have the right to take to such Territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any of the States or Territories of the Confederate States."

The articles of secession of every single state mention slavery as the primary motivation, usually within the first paragraph.
