It's kinda dishonest because the weed issue is also states rights, and it's no where near what slavery was.

Imo, the civil war topic should remain somewhat simplistic in non-academic settings. The reason was slavery, period.

You could go into the stuff surrounding it some, like racism, the economy, states rights, but the focus should slavery.

You might mention that the North had slaves longer than the south did, just because Maryland was a shithole back then. Slavery should still remain the focus.

Beg pardon? Maryland's 1864 constitution banned slavery.

Sorry, it was Delaware. They got rid of it with the 13th. The south were forced when they lost the civil war. It's only a separation of a few months, but it's there.
