How about we keep the whole country, and educate people on facts, law and history, leading back to a government of limited powers.

Can someone educate me as to which States rights the south felt we’re being nullified by the North.

And, I will grant that the north was not abiding by the fugitive slave clauses.

Are there others?

The declarations by the south were all about slavery.

It seems to me that the South was pissed that the north did not want to return their property without compensation. And if the north did not want to play by the rules, then they wanted out. And the north felt that the union was a permanent, unbreakable bond.

So, it seems to me that the reason for the war in the south was about being pissed about the rules not being followed..but the rules not being followed we’re mostly about slavery.
