Not reading the rest of your Free Traitor™ screed. The founding fathers were stupid? You are the jack wagon here. F off.
OK. That's fine. But I'm not just trying to be a smartypants here. This is serious stuff and it deserves a serious debate.
And your post about the Tariff Act of 1789 was a worthy addition to that discussion.
So I looked up the Wiki and I found this at the end of the article. It looks like they were having the same argument you and I are having way back then. It's worth reading just for the background it provides about the reaction to the passing of the Tariff Act. There is at least a hint that it was step one on the way to the Civil War. Not everybody loved it.
Here is the paragraph from the Wiki:
Madison’s attempt to enlist northern merchants and businessmen in supporting an economic contest with Great Britain elicited a cool response.[21] Firstly, British capital and markets contributed to the general prosperity of the North, and secondly, a shift towards France would mean aligning the United States with a revolutionary government that exhibited what Federalist leadership regarded as "an excess of democracy."[22][23] Alexander Hamilton, soon to enter the executive branch as Secretary of the Treasury, declined to support Madison’s proposal and warned that economic warfare with Great Britain would drastically reduce the import duty revenue that the tariff legislation called for, placing at risk the funds anticipated to run the new federal government and finance the national debt.[13] This dispute between Madison and Hamilton marked "the first important breach" between these two Federalist leaders,[20] which would deepen when Hamilton, as Treasury Secretary, launched his fiscal and economic programs, ending their long collaboration.[24] The legislation produced the first sectional strains within "the Federalist coalition of northern businessmen and southern planters."[23] In the South, "agricultural interests" viewed the high tariff and tonnage rates as a triumph for northern merchants and manufacturers, the burden of which fell on southern staple crop exporters.[21]
