Comment: Yes, it was a war for state's rights/human rights (humans of a certain colour at least)........to maintain and expand slavery. The issue was that Lincoln didn't want to allow the expansion of slavery to the western territories - so who were the "globalists"/anti-globalists in that equation? And emancipation enslaved everybody? So, you're saying if they remained slaves, at least they wouldn't have to endure that darn government "overreach"? Gibberish.
