Actually, I thought I had pinged you.
I apologize for the oversight.
Well, then you to are in total agreement.
Wrong.
But in total agreement.
Ofcourse, like Stephens, Lee did not know as much as you brilliant Neo-Confederates.
Wait a minute!
Wasn't Buchanan a pro-Southern Democrat!
What is he doing signing in this anti-Southern tariff?
And Lincoln gets blamed for saying he would enforce the law (the tyrant)!
If the Southerners could muster a tie in the Senate, could they have not upheld Buchanan's veto?

But with the tariff it was different. He was not about to back down to the South Carolina tariff nullifiers, as Andrew Jackson had done,
Jackson backed down to the nullifiers?
The laws of the United States must be executed. I have no discretionary power on the subject-my duty is emphatically pronounced in the Constitution. (emphasis mine) Those who told you that you might peaceably prevent their execution, deceived you-they could not have been deceived themselves. They know that a forcible opposition could alone prevent the execution of the laws, and they know that such opposition must be repelled. Their object is disunion, hut be not deceived by names; disunion, by armed force, is TREASON. Are you really ready to incur its guilt? If you are, on the head of the instigators of the act be the dreadful consequences-on their heads be the dishonor, but on yours may fall the punishment-on your unhappy State will inevitably fall all the evils of the conflict you force upon the government of your country. It cannot accede to the mad project of disunion, of which you would be the first victims-its first magistrate cannot, if he would, avoid the performance of his duty-the consequence must be fearful for you, distressing to your fellow-citizens here, and to the friends of good government throughout the world.

Lincoln echoed the exact words of Jackson.
Well you know Tommy DiLorenzo. Why let truth stand in the way of agenda?
In fact, modern Republicans are almost a mirror image of the original party. Protectionism was a high priority of the early Republican Party. They quickly enacted the Morrill Tariff, which raised tariff rates to extremely high levels, and their extreme protectionism continued throughout the era of Republican dominance. There is really little debate that these Republicans were the primary proponents of protectionism, particularly in the areas of steel and textiles. Modern Republicans, from Reagan to Bush II, have given us protectionism for a variety of favored industries, including steel, as well as the "managed trade" of NAFTA and the WTO.
What?
This can't be!
Reagan was a conservative and Lincoln a tyrant!

"My name is Tommy 'Hyperspin' DiLorenzo. I wrote a little book that makes Abe Lincoln look like the worst deranged Klansman! Buy my book!"
Lincoln is ABUNDANTLY on record as using the word [*redacted* - per the mods, we can't quote Lincoln on anything that shatters the mythologocal status of his alleged sainthood], he even insunuated that if Pierce won he was a [*redacted*], and that the territories were to be free of [*redacted*].

Check the CSA Constitution, they did.
The word that you accuse Lincoln used was a commonly used word of that day.
M. he must mean like his post below. LOL!
come dixie LIBERTY, the CSA $ will certainly be better traded than the $ of the "Peoples Socialist NANNY-state Republik of Amerika." absent the dixie states, the new northern "peoples" republic will spend itself into the ground on WORTHLESS social experimentation & fall from within.
A rump nation, trillions in debt, starting from scratch? In your dreams
That point is irrelevant though because the Mexicans did not recognize Texas' independence at all after reneging on the treaty. The rest of the world did though, and when the Mexicans yet again attempted to invade Texas' territory Zachary Taylor was waiting there to stop them.
And what's your point now in flooding this thread with quotes from Mises institute articles? It still doesn't divert any attention away from the fact that your methodology of ranking tax hike sizes violates the Laffer Curve.
