MODERATORS
Actually, it's really the opposite of that. The war wasn't over States's rights to allow slavery, it was over State's rights to disallow slavery. The Kansas-Nebraska act gave states the ability to decide if they wanted it or not, and the racists worried they would get outnumbered by non-slaving states, so they wanted slavery to be mandatory.
