Will you admit that Jefferson would not think that the South’s “grievances” would rise to the level of secession?
Will you admit that you were wrong about the government not enacting Tariffs until 1816?

Jefferson wasn't alive in 1861 so I don't know what he would have said (though I do find it interesting his grandson, along with the children and grandchildren of most of the Virginia statesmen of his era) served in the Confederate government.
Jefferson was however alive for the first part of the tariff disputes of the 1820's that produced the nullification crisis. He made his position on those disputes very clear, and it was on the side of the nullifiers.

Your imprecise wording is again your own worst enemy, Teufel. Please show me where I ever said the government did "not enact Tariffs until 1816." I know of no such instance, though I invite you to challenge that. Assuming you cannot though, I will have to again conclude you are misrepresenting my words - the second time that has happened today, leading me to also wonder about your honesty.
As to the Tariff of 1789, if you cannot see the difference between a 5% revenue tariff and a 65% protectionist tariff, then I suppose you also cannot see the difference between a 15% uniform flat income tax and a progressive income tax where the highest bracket reaches 90%.
