Someone should tell the founders of the Confederacy that they weren't fighting for slavery

Specifically stating the slavery vs abolition argument as a reason to leave the Union

Stating the inequality of races as an obvious fact everyone knows

Arguing AGAINST states right to not-return fugitive slaves

"We are specifically doing this for slavery you guys, just in case it wasn't clear"

Lots of reasons the North sucks for opposing slavery and advocating racial equality

How dare they help slaves escape, clearly they are the evil ones

Lincoln hates slavery, therefore we hate Lincoln

Could this have aged any more poorly?

Look at these outrageous demands

'servile insurrection' is nicer than 'slave rebellion'

Black people had no say in the creation of the Union and therefore should never hold any say in it

Poor oppressed slaveholders

But yeah tell me more how it was just 'states rights' without explaining what rights, specifically, those states wanted.
