Articles for secession for every state, Mississippi, Texas, Carolinas explicitly mention that they are fighting for slavery. Why didn’t they mention they were fighting against taxes and tariffs? Neo-Confederate revisionism is a joke.

South Carolina already had more slaves than white settlers at that time.

Some sneer at the problems that cities like Chicago or Detroit have. The truth is, all of the blacks should have stayed in the South to make the white settlers the minority and let’s see now, if these people would be insisting on no voting rights for blacks, etc. Except they did have people like Nathan Bedford who massacred slaves, you don’t hear about this.

One of the first slave revolts happened in 1708 and that was in NY state.

There would have been many more; and owning slaves was going to see uprisings.

Why do the Southern states articles of secession not reflect that they were fighting the North over tariffs and taxes? This is shown to be a big lie.

For every state? Are you absolutely sure?

Can we see your data for Florida?

Why didn’t they mention they were fighting against taxes and tariffs?

Actually they did, it's just that everyone who wants to justify killing 750,000 people and destroying billions of dollars in assets and wrecking so many peoples lives, never bother to look up this information. They only look for stuff that supports what they want to believe.

Here is where they complain about the tariff's and taxes.

You should read it. You might gain some actual understanding of what was going on at the time.
