But they made damned sure to be clear about slaves: "No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed."

They also clarified that "The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States; and shall have the right of transit and sojourn in any State of this Confederacy, with their slaves and other property; and the right of property in said slaves shall not be thereby impaired."
