Well then this whole exchange has simply backed up what I said from the start which is that in a war, governments will resort to anything they think necessary to win. The fact that the Confederate government later imposed high tariffs to raise money for the war of national survival they were engaged in does not mean they somehow never wanted a high tariff or did not really object to high tariffs being imposed on them.
Hummm? That’s all well and good except for one thing. The Confederate congress passed those high tariffs in May of 1861… (see the cover image I posted) several months before the first significant fighting.
What other excuses do you have for their “Protective” tariffs. ;~))
