“No, it was about states’ rights!”
“States’ rights to do what?”
"… >:[ "
Remember when Republicans did shit recently in the name of “state’s rights” to hate and then when states that didn’t want Trump’s bulashit said “oh let’s pass our own laws to undo his cuntery” Republicans and Trump said these states had to follow federal law?
Ra damn Trump and Republicans are hypocrites.
Article I Section 9(4) of the Confederate constitution:
Yeah, they specifically restricted state’s rights.
It was explicitly NOT about states’ rights. The Confederacy hated states’ rights. They were the ones pissed they couldn’t enforce their shitty laws in the North. They prevented any of their member states from ever outlawing slavery.
That line isn’t just a cutesy way of hiding the ugly part behind the technical truth, it’s a flat out lie.
You’re absolutely right, and I had no intention to mean otherwise with my memery. Apologies for the misunderstanding!
But then, why the segregation, also in the north and in the army?
How could it turn out that free workers were cheaper than slaves?

The war was against slavery, only to transform it into other, more efficient, means of control.
Dude we never said they weren’t racist. Like pretty much everyone has some kind of bigotry we’ve picked up over the years we have to unlearn. Just that they didn’t want slavery to expand beyond the south.
They why did the confederate state’s formal declarations of succession say that slavery was the reason they were succeeding?
secession, seceding
I don’t think they were succeeding
Fucking autocorrect.
