If true what the guy says in The South Was Right then we are severely mistreated. I listened for a while but it seemed to be a radical argument. Of course part of his argument is that I am indoctrinated to believe things that will make him sound like a kook

The frick you talking about??

The south was undoubtedly being fricked over on tariffs and taxes even despite the slavery thing, which itself was hypocritical as slavery continued in the north well into the civil war.

Argument fails when you see iron shackles made to fit a 4 year old girl.

The states rights discussion is a much deeper discussion than we can put on this board.
As a leader of any kind in the south at that time, i would have said go F yourself to to folks in the nations capital myself.
The south was goofy wealthy at that time and the government was greedy.
However, without going into super in depth discussion, the south had a valid reason to take a stand.
Abraham Lincoln didn’t even want to free the slaves to begin with. The emancipation proclamation wasn’t signed till 1.5 years after the war started so if i was about slavery, what was there to fight about?
Like i said though, the south took a stand for a reason cause the administration at that time got greedy

Why is this post getting downvoted? Does everyone believe the guy and I am dumb for questioning the idea?

I have it also.
Kennedy is a sort of Charlie Kirk for the Civil War cause. To most it sounds kooky because most refuse to admit they've been brainwashed by Hollywood and academia on the subject.
What lead to the Emancipation Proclamation and what transpired after that should shape a lot of what this chapter in history was all about.
History is history. Attempting to rewrite it will always come back and bite you.

Did States have the right to leave the union?
You can talk about slavery, tariffs or any individual issue but the answer to that question is the only thing that matters.
The states that left believed they could in a legal sense.
If they thought they couldn't leave at some point, they never would have joined.
We fought a war. The side that believed the union was permanent won.
The union is considered permanent and indestructible.
It would require a constitutional amendment for states to legally withdraw.

READ the book - don't just listen to it while you're driving around. Check the sources cited by the authors. Do a little digging on your own to find out what the truth is.
-Or- continue to be lazy about learning anything on your own and complacently accept the indoctrination you have received at the hands of public (read - government) schools. Until you make some effort on your own to seek out the facts, you will continue to be indoctrinated by what others tell you. And that goes for every part of your education - it's not just related to this particular take on secession and the Civil War.

Before the Civil War: “The United States are…”
After the Civil War: “The United States is…”

I am not at all saying that the argument in the book is right, but your plea to emotion fails for anyone who ever took logic.

I own the book.
From it I learned that the first colony to make slavery legal was:
MASSACHUSETTS
Pure hubris and fantasy.
All empires and nations eventually fail. The death of nations is inevitable as our own.
