The civil war as not just about slavery it was about the states rights and whether or not the federal government had the right to tell them what to do

BINGO!

I salute you Mr. K

AND notice how big/intrusive the Federal Gov has become since that tyrant Lincoln was in office.

The feds are the model for organized crime! Like the Mafia, as long as you do their biding, you're OK but if you rebel, you're a target.

Although I sympathize with the position of the South, I would never go so far as to call Lincoln a “tyrant.” He was a great man at a time that our country needed him and he did the difficult job of reuniting (yes, by force) strong opposites. Had he survived, the South would have been welcomed back to the fold and been treated as a prodigal son. His death brought the real tyrants to the drivers seat.
