That happens on this board's Civil War threads.
Unfortunately for your argument, 'State's Rights' included the use of human beings as slaves. They're inseparable.
You're always going to lose, because you're never going to be able to justify the slaves.

Hm, have you ever thought that we are slaves? I mean consider this:
- Congress spends money
- This increased national debt
—Debt is incurred by a promise to pay out of future earnings monies borrowed now
- This national debt _is_ what the taxpayer’s payment (supposedly) is for [in part]
- You are prohibited from not participating
- You are liable for [a portion of] that debt
- Your wages are garnished before you see a dime, as tax ‘withholdings’, for taxes
- Your government asserts things like ownership over your children [see public schools]
- Your government asserts ownership over things you produce (see raw milk raids)
- Your government claims ownership of your body (see the War on Drugs, and now Obamacare)
- Your government claims it can strip you of rights (voting, arms, etc) for felonies, even after the sentence is served
- Your government has increased possible felonies to such a point that “Three Felonies a Day” id the name of a serious, non-fiction book.
- Your government makes it a liability to be a citizen and an advantage to be an illegal immigrant.
State's rights--the idea that states wield the preponderance of political power within a union presided over by a federal government with limited powers--is inseparable with the use of humans as slaves? That's an interesting concept.
