"states rights" right? officially it may be down as that but what righ do you think they were fighting for?
Obviously it was about slavery. The federal government started encroaching on states' rights almost from the beginning of our republic. Through Supreme Court decisions and overreaching legislation, it gradually increased its power and the states gradually lost their sovereignty. This met with protest and complaints and was often a point of legitimate political debate, but never did any states' rights advocates come close to going to war over it until the particular states' right involved was slavery.
