        Can you explain that a little more? I’m guessing you meant secession, but even then I don’t get what you mean. Like, they seceded but the topic would be about WHY they did that.

        But I’m probably missing something.

      I had struggled with AP Euro in high school and had decided to just take regular US history the following year. Absolute mistake. My teacher was the football coach and was a huge proponent for the ‘states rights’ BS. This was in one of the better funded school districts in SoCal.
