The Civil War was about State rights... not slavery..
so will the NEXT civil war.. be about State Rights..
Democrats despise State Rights..
And not all republicans are republicans...
It was about the rights of certain states to deny human beings rights ascribed by the founders of the nation to all men ... rights which no state or states, according to those founders, possessed. As such, it was one hundred percent about slavery. Read the declarations of secession if you're not convinced.
If you're still of that opinion, ask yourself what your first course of action would be if your state passed a law enslaving or proscribing you. Then tell me about state's rights.
It was about the rights of states to allow their citizens to own slaves; it was about the rights of states to define and establish the property rights of their citizens to include certain human beings as just another class of property to own.
Not according to the men who started it.
The Civil War was about states rights to own slaves.
