The Civil War was about human rights! Not states rights.

You might want to brush up on your pre-civil war history just a wee bit.....

Feel free to educate me.

No doubt there were several states rights issues which were testing the resolve of the states against the federal government... but it was state condoned slavery which defined the war front.

If it was not a state’s choice to comply or reject Lincoln’s anti-slavery edict that defined them as confederate or union, then what was it?
