In the context of the American Civil War, the concept of “states’ rights” was used by the South to argue for the right of individual states to make their own decisions, particularly when it came to issues like slavery and secession. It was a way to push back against any perceived interference from the federal government or Northern states.

There was also a concern of states rights, but primarily why they advocated states rights was so that they could ensure that they kept slaves.
