I think even more damning against the 'states' rights' argument is that at least one (I stopped at finding one, lol) confederate state constitution explicitly disallowed abolishing slavery, so that state literally didn't have the right to make their own decision on the matter down the line, lol.
IIRC, there's 2 that do that explicitly - I want to say it was Texas and North Carolina, but I can't be bothered to double check that.
Edit: was bothered by my lack of "bringing the reciepts" in my own comment. It appears 5 of the confederate States called out slavery in their articles of succession (tried to do a quick double check, but jfc did GA have a really long winded one and I ain't got time for that right now)
