Or maybe it's because all your insisting that the tariff was the reason for the southern rebellion is a pile of crap.

Who me? Anyways, I am still waiting for you to prove that it wasn't the case, or at least a part of it.

Ah the old 'prove that something that didn't happen didn't happen' arguement. The fact that virtually none of the documents or speeches or writings of the southern leaders in 1861 mention tariffs as a reason for the rebellion seems to be pretty strong evidence. To everyone but you, of course.

Cute. You come up with some off the wall conspiracy theory and then other people need to prove it wrong.

How about you prove that it correct instead? It is your theory after all.
