Normal People: What was the civil war fought over?
White Supremacists: It was about states' rights.
Normal People: States' rights to do what exactly?
White Supremacists: To make and enforce their own laws.
Normal People: Laws regarding what?
White Supremacists: Property and theft.
Normal People: What kind of property? Theft of what?
White Supremacists: Well, people were stealing slaves and taking them to free states.
Normal People: Who was stealing slaves?
White Supremacists: The slaves were stealing themselves by running to the North and those damn Yankees didn't want to send them back.
Normal People: So what did the South do about it?
White Supremacists: They got a federal law passed in 1851, that forced the Northern states to ignore their own laws against slavery and recognize the South's right to have escaped slaves sent back. It was called the Fugitive Slave Act.
Normal People: So you pushed for a new federal law to force states to ignore their own state laws and constitutions in the name of "states' rights", is that correct?
White Supremacists: Yep,
Normal People: Then what happened?
White Supremacists: Those damn Yankees got control of the house and the senate and the presidency and tried to ban slavery nationwide.
Normal People: So they wanted to use a federal law to force Southern states to change their laws, kind of like with the Fugitive Slave Act you pushed for a decade earlier, right?
White Supremacists: No, this was different because this time it effected the South.
Normal People: So what happened as a result?
White Supremacists: We decided to commit treason against the USA and start our own country to keep slaves.
Normal People: So you admit the Civil War was about slavery.
White Supremacists: No it was about states' rights. States have rights to own slaves but no rights to refuse to recognize slavery.
