Fact: The Civil War was not about "states' rights."
The proof? The Confederate Constitution specifically forbade states to outlaw slavery, and demanded that the constituent states honor slavery claims arising in another state.
I'm on my phone right now and cannot conveniently link supporting documentation, but anyone doubting this, question here ITT and when I get home I will link you to the clauses in aforementioned Constitution.
It had nothing to do with states' rights until decades after the fact. Period.
