Default Black Confederates in the Civil War

The idea of “black Confederates” appeals to present-day neo-
Confederates, who are eager to find ways to defend the principles of
the Confederate States of America. They say the Civil War was about
states’ rights, and they wish to minimize the role of slavery in a
vanished and romantic antebellum South.


Sure it was about "states rights". The right to oppress a minority and
enslave them. Where's the contradiction?
