I remember a conversation in grad school over a meal in the cafeteria. At the table was a woman from Georgia on the one side, and on the other was a history major, though I can't remember where he was from. Somehow the topic of slavery came up.

Southerner: The War of Northern Aggression was not about slavery! It was about states' rights!
History major: Yeah. States' rights to own slaves.
