150 years ago today Texas seceded from the union

Ok, let me spell this out for you. States Rights is simply a tool if you will - a tool that can be used for any cause. During the civil war it was used for slavery, but during any part of time could be used for any issue. In our current day for instance, people are talking States Rights again, this time about the Health Care Bill. Let me guess, that has to do with Racial Supremacy and slavery, right?

States rights are not such when those alleged rights are used to keep human beings in chains on the basis of the colour of their skin.

EDIT

: I still think that a state has the right to seceed.

What you think is irrelevant. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that secession is illegal.
