'''States' rights''' refers to the rights of the several states against the [[federal]] government, in [[American history]]. The concept of states' rights, and its alleged violations at the hands of the federal government, was a central topic in the [[Civil War]]. There, the [[Confederacy]] believed that the [[Union]] abridged the rights of the southern states by seeking to end slavery, among other things.
'''States' rights''' is a piss poor excuse for continuing slavery in the modern world.
