She's essentially saying the same "states' rights" bullshit. Which was the right to slavery.

Ugh

The constitution of the Confederacy forbade states from banning slavery. The confederates were fighting against state's rights to abolish slavery.

The Union was not just the anti-slavery side, but the states' rights side as well.

Through that same link. Another video played and she said "Of course the civil war was about slavery, we all know it was about slavery... but it was about more than that. It was about the freedoms of EVERY individual."

Well I guess except for the slaves.
