If you just want to be a smart ass, go right ahead. But I asked a serious question. What tariffis were imposed on ‘the South’ that were not imposed on the rest of the nation?

Let’s start with the Tariff of 1828 designed to force the south to buy industrial goods from the North instead of from England or Europe.

Mind you it placed a burden directly on the south and because the south did not free the slaves so that they could be counted as whole citizens (3/5), the south could not stop in congress such a Tariff from being applied because they lacked the political power to stop it.

Every True Southerner has been taught this lesson in sckool, however neo confederates ignore this because it doesn’t fit into the template they are using these days.
