Yeah, there was a right being curtailed by the new Lincoln administration in the newly created western territories.
But it wasn't the right to free speech, assembly, to bear arms, a free press, exercise of religion, not excessive bail, quartering of troops in homes, or trial by jury.
It was the right to own another human being. Which had gone out of fashion in the rest of the civilized world by 1860.
ISIS is attempting to restore that right. The right for Jihadists to own sex slaves seems to be part of the ISIS Bill of Rights. Think of the Caliph as an Islamic Jefferson Davis, leading a secession movement away from the backsliding Middle Eastern regimes.

Apt analogy.

After PikeBishop posted on an earlier page the link to the confederate states' official documents on why they were succeeding, I have no idea how anyone else continued to argue that the war was not about slavery.
