It's funny to me that those people that claim the war was fought over states' rights cannot name a single state right other than slavery that was lost after the war was over.


It's funny to me that people like you would post something like that.

Good gosh man ... we were a conquered country! We lost all of our rights! Reconstruction is why there is so much bitterness lingering still today.

Southern states did not have all of our states' rights restored until WW I ... and even them only out of necessity for another war.

Reconstruction had ended by 1877 and Democrats had regained their political control in the south by that time.
