    Setting the obviously racist inane bullshit aside, what the fuck does this question have to do with vocabulary? Those are all concepts expressed phrases, a concept entirely different that vocabulary.

    It wasn’t “insisting on their right to secede” it was “attacking Fort Sumter to exercise a supposed right to secede”

    The war of states rights. Sure.

    The states right to do what, precisely?

    Answer the question.

          I love that they try to keep running around in circles as if we don’t know for sure that they’re just identifying with other racists.

          They’re cowards.

          But to answer your question, well it was about a lot of things, it was mainly a states rights issue, and they didn’t want their way of life to change. That way of life may or may not have been exploitation and torture of an entire race of people, but I’m not gonna say slavery although we both know for a 100% fact that was the main reason, because I’m a dumb turd and I like backing racists openly but I’m too much of a coward to just say it out loud because I am aware it’s morally bankrupt.

            Oh I know. I just like setting up the rhetorical bear trap. It’s so easy.

            I know I’m preaching to the choir here <3

      The US still has slavery even today with the private prisons forcing inmates to work.

    Basically boils down to:

    “The separation was caused by their want to separate.”

    Yeah, no shit. But why did they want to separate?

    I like how there’s the technically true but misleading B, and then the strictly untrue D that is still actually way closer to the actual character of events

      It’s a vocabulary test, if the word of the week was suffrage it’s D. Must be a course in Floridian business English preparing you for smalltalk with your colleagues.
