Interestingly, the states rights debate is true, wholly.
The north wanted to keep the right to acknowledge escaped slaves as free, and the south kept sending people up there to kidnap free men and women. They were even known to kidnap free born black people and sell them into slavery.
The south also wanted to charge the north for this “service”.
When people talk about states rights, remind them that the south was heavily infringing on the rights of the northern states.
Eh, sorry, it seemed like you were genuinely convinced that most people were concerned about legal issues. I’ve met people who tried to make earnest arguments like that.

It’s “true” on a technicality. It was about slavery.
I guess you’re one of those people who are incapable of reading between the lines.
Or maybe you didn’t read my comment at all?
