Reagan incresed defense spending to defeat the preexisting Soviet menace. Lincoln ran on a platform of higher taxes and "internal improvements."
Reagan increased tariffs also to save Harley Davidson.
Nobody's perfect. Harley was not saved by Reagan increasing tariffs. It was saved by the buyout of the company by it's employees from AMF and a change of paradigm which was instituted as a result thereof. It is one of the great success stories of re-inventing a business. Harley today does not sell motorcycles as a primary business... they sell an image (laughably in this case, the image is that of the American Rebel).
They attacked us.
The facts have all been put forth, and that is not the case. What was that you were saying about winners not crying?
Lincoln did so to defeat the rebel menace.

Reagan raised gas taxes tro improve roads.
Nobody's perfect.
Glad to see you admit that. lol
Harley was not saved by Reagan increasing tariffs.

The tariff helped also.

Confederates wore black leather?

Star of the West, Fort Sumter. Hell even that Texas document I linked shows they willingly stole federal property and discussed it at the convention.

Who's crying? I'm stating fact. Anytime Bush mentions 9-11, is he crying also? He's not crying because he punished the perps, just as Lincoln did. In both cases we won.
