No, states rights didn’t die at Appomattox courthouse. They died when some people decided that states rights also included the right to own slaves. Had they been a moral people, and not insisted on their way, we might still have states rights.

That’s an absurd statement.

Amen and Amen. The type of slavery condoned by the slave-holding states had nothing to do with the Biblical laws and directives concerning slavery. The Bible treated the slave as a human, with rights, and stated that he/she must be freed after seven years.
I believe that the deaths of the Civil War and our lost freedoms are direct consequences of the SIN of Southern slavery. It does not matter what the real political reasons were for the secession or war, God used it to bring justice and retribution on the United States.

Amen! No one who enslaves another has a right to talk about his own freedom’s being abused.

“They died when some people decided that states rights also included the right to own slaves.”
Are you sure you want to go with that? That list includes Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, among others. The Kentucky and Virginia Resolves penned by Jefferson and Madison in 1798 make the case rather explicitly.

Hey, I guess George Washington, Mason et al Virginians are just slave owning evil white guys. Drop the ‘h’ from your moniker.
