If he was from the South he'd probably say "States Rights".
A Marine buddy of mine is a cop down in Virginia... African-American cop. In a conference room some of his fellow cops were talking about the Civil War when he walked in and one cop said...
"You know the Civil War was about States Rights and not slavery."
My friend said...
"Yeah... the right to own F*ing slaves."
Oh I laughed at that when he told me.
