Discussed and refuted. But here you are again.

Hey, guys. Non-Sequitur says we've all been "refuted". How about that?

"It was all about slavery," again.

OK, simple question. Answer it and you've gone a long way to proving your point. U.S. tariff income in 1860 was about $60 million, and that the South accounted for upwards of 90% of that, or so Stainelessbanner would have us believe. That would mean that the remaining states accounted for only about $6 million in tariff revenue. In his 1864 message to Congress, Lincoln reported that tariff income for the prior year was $110 million. The question is how could the Northern demand for imports suddenly grow from $6 million in tariffs to $110 million. Can you answer that?

I think that "Noni" has been smoking too much "crack" again, if he thinks that...:)
