Your right it was about States rights..
Slavery was indeed a sub issue.. but not the main issue..
Most all the southern people had never owned any slave or wanted to own one..
Most all of the soldiers were not slave owners..

People giving their lives (not so a few) could own slaves but that their State could be sovereign..
Also not all the southern soldiers agreed with slavery..

The Civil War was not about slavery.. but something more practical..
Progressive history re-writers have made the Civil War about slavery.. it wasn't..

Americans(YOU) have probably been brain washed..
Along with those that think America is a democracy..

Any democracy is a myth, it is a lie..
No democracy has ever been democratic..
Democracy is Mob Rule by mobsters.. always in every iteration..
Democracy is a lie.. that's why America is a Republic..
Democracy is a political disease that results in socialism.. as a symptom..

The democrat party is a diseased cabal.. a junta.. NOW..
Always has been from the beginning..

Slavery was indeed a sub issue.. but not the main issue..

So Mississippi didn't actually say this?

"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery -- the greatest material interest of the world," proclaimed Mississippi in its own secession declaration, passed Jan. 9, 1861. "Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of the commerce of the earth. . . . A blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization."
