re: #448 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

Actually, the Civil war was less about the consolidation of Federal power and more about the non-slave states asserting that their laws were just as valid slave states, who were trying to claim their laws regarding runaway slaves and property ownership took precedence.

If it wasn’t about consolidation of federal power why do/did so many people claim it was about “STATES RIGHTS!”????
