There were several causes of the Civil War. "States Rights" is brought up as a primary cause - but which rights are they talking about? Answer: The right to own slaves. The South wanted each state to maintain its right to allow slavery. The North wanted to abolish slavery, and the South insisted that infringed on the states' rights.
That was the PRIMARY cause of the war. There were other causes. But that was the big one. If there was no slavery, there likely would not have been a war.
