States Rights to do just what exactly? Oh, yeah, chain people up, whip them and use them as slaves.As far as I know, none of my ancestors that fought in CW I owned slaves. I think slavery wasn't even on the list of grievences that they had with the North. They are all gone now so that is speculation.
