That’s lying.
You claim to know what I know, and on the basis of what you think I know you claim I am lying? That's called "Jumping to a conclusion."
“Delighted? And for what reason would they have cause to be delighted? Who wants to pay for higher tariffs?”
Jesus man are you dense?!
“After having enjoyed protection to the extent of from 15 to 200 per cent. upon their entire business for above thirty years, the act of 1846 was passed. It avoided sudden change, but the principle was settled, and free trade, low duties, and economy in public expenditures was the verdict of the American people. The South and the Northwestern States sustained this policy. There was but small hope of its reversal; upon the direct issue, none at all.”
Georgia seccessation document, January 29 1861
“Who wants to pay for higher tariffs?”
Tariffs were not high in the years just before the Civil War. This has been pointed out to you time and again. Why do you keep lying?
