They've proven themselves so throughout the last 200+ years. Ask black people how they liked states rights.
You are conveniently forgetting that the emancipation in the North was also an expression of the "state rghts". The federal authorities did not go much farther than banning the importation of new slaves under Jefferson. If Democrats would have succeeded at tipping the balance of power their way, the "state rights" would be now synonymous with the Underground Railroad and freedom for black people.
