[quote=Anonymous]Of course the Southern whites in power tried to secede from the U.S. because of slavery. But also, the "state's rights" argument was always revisionist bullshit. Because, right up next to their desire to continue owning and living off the labor of other human beings; the southerners were also very upfront about trying to leave the U.S. because the northern states were not sufficiently compliant with federal law. They were huge hypocrites talking about "state's rights" (let alone individual freedoms) after complaining that the North wasn't obeying the federal "Fugitive Slave Act." As Samuel Johnson put it, "how is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes?" [/quote]
