Exactly. The Civil War- era Constitutions of the Southern states ALL mentioned the right to keep slavery as one of their first, if not the first, reason for secession.

And the Confederacy actually forbid any of it's member states from ever banking slavery.

So "states rights" was always a lie. The South actively fought against state authority.
