Slave owners did not believe that slavery was a necessary commodity towards securing their liberty. They believed that slavery was a necessary commodity towards their prosperity. When the anti-slavery movement had grown big enough to threaten those States who sanctioned slavery with Amendment prohibiting that slavery, slave owners began to cry states rights. If these Southern "gentlemen" were so concerned about States rights they would have better convinced a dubious populace of this by freeing the slaves they held before going to war, civil war, with those who sought to bring freedom to all people. States rights is a very valid issue and concern under the federal government devised by the Constitution and it is shameful this right was asserted to justify slavery.
