They wanted to get rid of slavery? Yes that’s why affirming its legality was in its Constituion.

Their Constitution not only made slave-owning a right, but it barred any state in the Confederacy from passing laws to ban it, barred stars from preventing from passing through or staying with slaves in their company, and ensured that any new states that slave-owners would have all the same privileges and rights in any new state brought into the Confederacy.
