To be clear, it was the right of states to not enforce slavery

Yeah, no that’s backwards. If anything, it was about the right of states to enforce slavery.

No, the confederate constitution directly takes away states rights on the subject of slavery.

Article 1. Section 9.

  1. No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairring the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.

Right, so they can enforce slavery…? I don’t think we’re disagreeing.

It means states have absolutely no choice but to enforce slavery. E.g. their rights have been removed.
