We literally fought and won a civil war over if other states or the Fed were allowed to raid other states against their wishes...
It wasn't just if slavery had to be all one way or the other, the slave states wanted to send raiding parties North (or have the Fed do it) if Northern states refused to ship every African American South under the pretense that they had to be either escaped slaves or descendants of slaves.
When Lincoln refused to do that, but also refused to outlaw slavery in the South, the civil war still happened.
For decades this has just been a bit of trivia I get downvoted for mentioning, but it's fucking important people start paying attention to what really happened throughout history. Because the fascists actually planning this shit are obsessed with fascist history.
Like, Trump's illiterate and doesn't know which way to hold a bible up, but he had a copy of Mein Kampf on his nightstand.
These fucks don't just run the same playbook because they're unimaginative, not even because they know it worked and people are ignorant, it's for a sick desire for "revenge" because it didn't work anytime before.
Stephen Miller is 100% disgusting enough to get off on having the modern Fed do what the Confederates demanded, just for shits and giggles.
