Exactly. The Confederate States' Constitution explicitly mentions and regulates slavery throughout the document.

It was 100% about slavery.

Anyone who says "states' rights" without mentioning slavery is either an ignorant turd or a racist POS.

It is was not 100% about slavery. It's worse than that because it was also about the fear of treating black people like political equals, and black men having sex with their pure white daughters.
