The American Civil War was about the attempted secession of certain states from the Union; if any rights were established by that war, it is the right of the US to prohibit any state from seceding. Do not confuse this with the issue of civil rights. Civil rights are rights to which people are morally and legally entitled by reason of being citizens, not by reason of the civil war.

How would you explain the difference between civil and political rights?
Civil rights refer to the basic rights and freedoms that protect individuals from discrimination based on characteristics like race, gender, or religion. Political rights, on the other hand, relate to participation in the political process, such as the right to vote or run for office.
