My favorite thing to point to when someone says the civil war was about states rights is to point out the fugitive slave act. They didn’t want the federal government to get involved in slavery unless it was in their favor .
“Sure it was about State’s Rights. The States Rights to own slaves.”
That’s the truth, and it’s literally in their State Constitutions. If someone is spewing that nonsense, Google it, and read it to them, because they probably can’t read.
