On the contrary, I've been a strong supporter of states rights. All the states. Where we disagree is that all y'all think that in 1860 only the southern states had rights. Come to think of it, that hasn't changed much in the last 140 years, has it?
No disagreement on that point. Since when did the south think other states didn't have rights? Unless you maybe are refering to the Fugitive Slave Act....that involves property rights. You know, the right to own property without having it stolen? But you guys apparently thought our rights were less, or something else. The South would not have tried to coerce Northern States by force, and you can bet on that.
