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!
