Article IV,Section II.III EXPLICITLY (not IMPLICITLY) says that if a slave in one Confederate state escapes (or is legally transported) to "ANOTHER" Confederate state, that it cannot be freed "IN CONSEQUENCE OF ANY LAW OR REGULATION THEREIN". I don't know how more EXPLICIT you can get! (sigh) this provision (in its original form – not in yours) is explicit only with regard to attaching slavery to the body of the black person. It is not explicit in ANY claim that a confederate state may end slavery! You must try to understand how the language functions here. It aims to ensure that regardless of any consequence of law, intended or unintended, the status of “slave” will remain attached to the body of the black person. The true posture of the Confederacy regarding slavery can be seen in Article IV, Section 3, Paragraph 3: "The Confederate States may acquire new territory . . . In all such territory, the institution of negro slavery, as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected by Congress and the territorial government."
