how can people still say that the civil war was about states rights when the states rights argument was originally used by northerners to fight fugitive slave laws, including the 1850 fugitive slave law which was drafted by Senator Mason of Virginia and supported by a wide array of southern politicians, including Senator Barnwell who ended up serving in the Senate of the CSA?

Because "state rights!" Today Is just a cover term for "we want to be able to do bad shit to people but we don't want everyone to know we're fighting the federal government FOR that".


that's one major reason I can never be Libertarian. I don't like the feds having much say-so over states, but it's literally the feds that made it so I could I could be treated as a citizen. if certain states had their way, I'd still be in chains.

I sometimes wonder what it's like to not have to think about shit like this. would be much easier to only have the economy as a primary concern.
