See? Now was that so hard?
So what did Congress do in July that solved the trade problem you speak of?
Because Davis wanted the war to start.
Attempts to put the focus on Davis are misdirection. Davis was in no position to do anything when Lincoln held all the power to interdict trade.
Lincoln was calling all the shots in the lead up to war. Lincoln alone is responsible for precipitating a war through his own deliberate actions.
And his reason for precipitating a war was to secure financial safety for his Crony Capitalist buddies in New York. This is why he supported the Corwin Amendment.
He was a shyster con man who would say whatever he needed to say to get power, then do whatever he needed to do to keep power.
Facts are always a misdirection where you're concerned.
Also from the same source:
“If New York capital should suddenly be diverted from this channel of employment, it would have disastrous effects upon the interests of the Cotton States. Even if such a change were effected, it could not benefit the planter, who would have to pay others for the same service, and at a higher rate. Some banks and individuals in the Southern cities might profit ; but as they could not for a long time extend the same facilities in the way of advances, the planters would sufier to an extent which could not be compensated by the increased profits of the bankers. This business of the exchange consequent upon the export of cotton, has assumed its present shape under the hands of those most interested in it ; and it cannot be changed suddenly without great loss, sufiering, and inconvenience to those who are concerned.”
