I often get in arguments with fags who always talk shit about confederate soldiers calling them traitors and pushing for all confederate monuments to be torn down. They justify this with the tired old argument of "but the confederates fought to keep muh precious niggers enslaved, therefore they deserve to be mocked and reviled because slavery bad." I had heard before that the civil war was over state's rights to determine their own destiny instead of being beholden to the federal government in D.C. and that slavery was the least of the cause. What are good counter arguments to these nigger loving confederacy haters ? Any educational links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

That was one reason. There were multiple reasons, but the biggest was the failure of the federal government to recognize states' sovereignty in their affairs. The repeated overreach of congress into state matters was absolutely the biggest reason. Tariffs and slavery were just symptoms of what were much, much bigger issues of abuse and overreach. The South was left with no recourse but to separate and secede, which was absolutely legal according to the precedent and legal doctrine at the time.
