States rights? States rights to own human beings. That’s the ultimate tyranny.

Slavery and its tyranny by the statistically few wasn't the issue in the CW; State SOVEREIGNTY and right to self-government was.

Dixie fought NOT for slavery in any case. As an aside, two wrongs don't make a right either.

Funny, the confederates thought differently - and said so.
