You said: “The southern states...would have continued getting their way, they had the votes to defeat tariffs.”

And then you say: “The south had the votes to defeat he Morrill tariff.”

Do You know if that was true in either April of 1860 or March of 1861?

Had they not seceded, the Morrill tariff would not have passed. They had the votes to defeat it.
