Explanation: During the US Civil War, fought over the issue of race-based chattel slavery, the pro-slavery Southern Confederacy attempted to secede from the USA. One of the issues later cited by apologists for the Confederacy was the notion of “states’ rights”.
… but the Confederacy attempted to invade and take over at least two states which rejected secession - Kentucky and Missouri.
States’ rights for me, but not for thee!
Of course, it was also states rights to force other states to enforce their laws - by which I mean, kidnap and return former slaves back to slavery.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

One of the biggest complaints that the slaveholding States had was that the Fugitive Slave Act (federal law) wasn’t being enforced on Free States. I know this was among the grievances listed in South Carolina’s deceleration of succession.
So they were perfectly happy to accept federalism and Federal Supremacy when it served their satanic institution.
Hey, don’t insult Satan like that. They want nothing to do with the horrific crime against humanity that is slavery, especially as it was practiced in the Americas post Columbus.
I think it’s a fine adjective for chattel slavery. I chose it specifically to aggravate the types who’d be sympathetic to the confederacy. It’s a direct response to the phrase “particular institution” that confederates prefer.
Don’t bring Satan into this. Satan being equal to Lucifer, his only sin being the act of rebellion - giving humanity free will. I don’t know about you but to me, free will is kind of polar opposite of slavery.
