The reason the South was worried about Congress is because they knew the Missouri Compromise meant that there would likely be no more slave states, and that with abolitionist sentiments growing, slavery would one day be outlawed.
That is why they fought, and in that sense it damned sure was about the right for a state to legalize chattel slavery.
So you're okay with statues of men who committed treason in order to defend a state's right to legalize slavery. Got it.
