Since the Morrill bill was the point of contention on the tariff issue and since you gave no indication your comments applied to anything else, it is the only tariff one could reasonably conclude you to have been speaking of.

You just did a big long piece including discussion of Georgia's secession document and the free trade atmosphere resulting from lowering the tariff rates. That was in 1846.

Yes Walt. And that free trade atmosphere ceased to be consensus in 1860 and was striken from the law and replaced with protectionism in 1861. That's what made the confederates so mad over tariffs. It's commonly called the Morrill Act.
