The /s wasn’t supposed to invert the meaning of the sentence before, it was just meant to mark it as a more humorous thing since OP explained exactly that in their comment.
Actually, it’s really the opposite of that. The war wasn’t over States’s rights to allow slavery, it was over State’s rights to disallow slavery.

You don’t need a /s, that’s literally what it was.
It’s just some people pretend that isn’t what the rights were that the CSA fought for. Those people are morons.

I know, but there is no simple /[pleasedon’ttakethistooseriouslyit’shalfajokebutsomethingrealtoo]
I would use /jk for that for what it’s worth but I got your meaning nonetheless.
What…?
