not only to the injury of the people of Virginia, but to the oppression of the Southern slaveholding States. Virginia not only refers to slavery specifically, but acknowledges that Federal authority is derived from the people and not the states. Zero mention of states rights.

Yeah, yeah, it was about states rights. The states right to keep slavery legal! Why does some dumass always trot that tired old chestnut out? OWNING OTHER PEOPLE IS NOT OK! Rewrite history all u want, don't make it true.

Lincoln repeatedly stated his war was caused by taxes only, and not by slavery..."My policy sought only to collect the Revenue (a 40% federal sales tax on imports to Southern States under Morrill Tariff Act of 1861)."

States rights. Slavery fell under that tent but wasn’t the only issue. Oh, and democrats wanted slavery to continue

And there was a shift in political parties right before JFK was elected when Civil War era Democrats became Republicans and the Republicans of the 1860s migrated to the Democratic party. But you know, don't let HISTORY get in your way to make an argument.
