Got any more fables?
Aren't your own enough for you?
In a discussion about revenue lost due to Southern secession, here is Lincoln himself saying it is "fifty or sixty million."
"Well,’ said he, ‘what about the revenue? What would I do about the collection of duties?’ Said I, ‘Sir, how much do you expect to collect in a year?’-Said he, ‘Fifty or sixty millions.’ ‘Why sir,’ said I, ‘four times sixty is two hundred and forty. Say $250,000,000 would be the revenue of your term of the presidency; what is that but a drop in the bucket compared with the cost of such a war as we are threatened with? Let it all go, if necessary; but I do not believe that it will be necessary, because I believe that you can settle it on the basis I suggest.’ ”
He was talking about the whole nation, not just the South. You have this South good guys and North bad guys view of history. Lincoln was looking at the nation. If the South refused to pay tariffs, why would the North continue paying them. You seem to think the South should have been able to do anything they wanted and what ever the North wanted was bad. That’s a childish way of looking at history, but not surprising.
