The Morrill tariff was not a significant cause of secession. Slavery was the cause. Lincoln did not orchestrate the Corwin amendment. At the time, abolitionists were not a majority sentiment.

The Morrill tariff was not a significant cause of secession. Slavery was the cause. What was the "nullification crises" about again?
Was it about "slavery?"
Cause we all know it couldn't be about anything other than "slavery."

Lincoln did not orchestrate the Corwin amendment. You would be surprised at how many of Lincoln's fingerprints are all over that thing.

Lincoln did orchestrate the writing and passage of the Corwin Amendment. Abolitionists were a tiny despised minority. the Morrill Tariff was the primary cause of secession.
