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.
the slave power had no interest in States’ rights which is usually the case when there is one=party rule.
Suddenly in the 50’s, the tide turned almost overnite and the slave power went from total rule, all branches of the FED govt ... to losing their power ... thus when out of power, the plea is for state’s rights.
Same with the Free Soilers. As soon as they became the majority: totalitarian dreams. Goes on forever ... the 21st century libs will some day be screaming states’ rights.
I don’t wanna see the country become like the Balkans. We would all have freedom. And wars and more wars. Lawyers and liberal poliicians are the curse of our culture and the only cure is serious poverty.
